Clarifying the stages of the values internalization process enables a more effective selection of interventions to promote targeted internalization. However, no specialized instrument currently exists to measure this process. Grounded in the four-stage model of values internalization, this study aimed to develop and validate a Values Internalization Scale (VIS) for adults. Data from Sample 1 ( = 474) were subjected to item analysis and exploratory factor analysis, yielding a scale with a four-factor structure. Subsequently, confirmatory factor analysis and reliability and validity tests were conducted using Sample 2 ( = 470). The results indicated that the four-factor model demonstrated a good model fit and that the scale exhibited satisfactory internal consistency reliability, criterion-related validity, and test-retest reliability. The final 25-item VIS comprises four dimensions: ignoring-resistance, understanding, attempt to practice, and integration stages. The 25-item VIS developed in this study performed exceptionally well regarding reliability and validity and can be utilized in subsequent research on the internalization of values.
明确价值观内化过程的阶段有助于更有效地选择干预措施，以促进目标内化。然而，目前尚无专门的工具来测量这一过程。基于价值观内化的四阶段模型，本研究旨在开发并验证一种适用于成年人的价值观内化量表（VIS）。对样本1（n = 474）的数据进行项目分析和探索性因素分析，得出一个具有四因素结构的量表。随后，使用样本2（n = 470）进行验证性因素分析以及信效度检验。结果表明，四因素模型具有良好的模型拟合度，该量表表现出令人满意的内部一致性信度、效标关联效度和重测信度。最终的25项VIS量表包括四个维度：忽视-抗拒、理解、尝试践行和整合阶段。本研究开发的25项VIS量表在信效度方面表现出色，可用于后续关于价值观内化的研究。
