The fifty-five-item Diligence Inventory for Higher Education (DI-HE) was applied to a new subject group--190 dental students. After item and factor analysis, a fifty-item (four subscale) inventory best reflected this group. The DI-HE's split half reliability was 0.81 (p < 0.001), the reliability coefficient for the pre- and post-test was 0.68 (p < 0.01), and the correlation coefficient alpha was 0.90. The DI-HE scores were high, with no statistical differences among the four classes. Overall, significant relationships were found between grade point averages (GPAs) and DI-HE total and subscale scores, with r values as high as 0.44. While female students' DI-HE scores were significantly higher (p = 0.023) than male students' scores, no correlations between DI-HE scores and GPAs for females were found. The results suggest that DI-HE may be useful for assessment purposes in professional education.
将包含55个条目的高等教育勤奋量表（DI-HE）应用于一个新的受试群体——190名牙科专业学生。经过条目和因素分析，一个包含50个条目（四个分量表）的量表最能反映该群体情况。DI-HE的分半信度为0.81（p<0.001），前后测信度系数为0.68（p<0.01），α相关系数为0.90。DI-HE得分较高，四个班级之间无统计学差异。总体而言，平均绩点（GPA）与DI-HE总分及分量表得分之间存在显著相关性，r值高达0.44。虽然女生的DI-HE得分显著高于男生（p = 0.023），但未发现女生的DI-HE得分与GPA之间存在相关性。结果表明，DI-HE可能有助于专业教育中的评估。
