This study aims to translate and validate the Learned Helplessness Scale (LHS) for use in the educational context and specifically among Chinese law school students. Understanding learned helplessness in the context of Chinese law students can provide unique insights into the interaction of legal education, psychological health, and cultural influences, thereby contributing to a more nuanced understanding of learned helplessness.
A total of 711 Chinese college students from two law schools participated in this study. The Learned Helplessness Scale (LHS) was translated into Chinese using forward and backward translation. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and construct validity were conducted to assess the dimensionality of the Chinese version of the LHS (Chinese LHS).
The exploratory factor analysis indicated that the Chinese LHS has a four-factor structure consisting of 14 items, which accounted for 50% of the total variance. The subsequent confirmatory factor analysis further supported this four-factor structure. The internal consistency of the Chinese LHS was found to be medium to high, with Cronbach's α values ranging from 0.63 to 0.87 for the subfactors, and 0.79 for the total scale. In addition, concurrent validity is also confirmed.
The 14-item version of the Chinese LHS is a psychometric sound instrument for assessing learned helplessness among Chinese law school students.
本研究旨在翻译并验证习得性无助量表（LHS），以便在教育背景中使用，特别是在中国法学院学生中使用。了解中国法律学生背景下的习得性无助，可以为法律教育、心理健康和文化影响之间的相互作用提供独特的见解，从而有助于更细致入微地理解习得性无助。
来自两所法学院的711名中国大学生参与了本研究。习得性无助量表（LHS）通过正向和反向翻译被翻译成中文。进行探索性和验证性因素分析以及结构效度分析，以评估中文版习得性无助量表（中文LHS）的维度。
探索性因素分析表明，中文LHS具有由14个项目组成的四因素结构，占总方差的50%。随后的验证性因素分析进一步支持了这种四因素结构。发现中文LHS的内部一致性为中到高，子因素的克朗巴哈α值在0.63至0.87之间，总量表的克朗巴哈α值为0.79。此外，同时效度也得到了证实。
14项版的中文LHS是一种心理测量学上可靠的工具，用于评估中国法学院学生中的习得性无助。
