外语听力焦虑量表的构造分析及效度检验

Analyzing and validating the construct of foreign language listening anxiety scale

本研究使用探索性因子分析(EFA)和验证性因子分析(CFA)两种方法,分别对外语听力焦虑量表(FLLAS)进行了构造分析及效度检验,得出的3因子模型高效且稳定。对该模型进行的交叉效度检验亦表明模型在不同组别间也具高效度。使用结构均值模型观察受试的焦虑变化,发现外语听力焦虑3个因子的均值都显著下降。由于3个因子之间呈显性相关,且外语焦虑与外语成绩呈显性负相关,我们认为,改善学生3因子模型中的任何焦虑因素均能有效地提高其外语成绩。

This study uses the Exploratory Factor Analysis(EFA) and the Confirmatory Factor Analysis(CFA) to analyze and validate the construct of Foreign Language Listening Anxiety Scale(FLLAS).The results suggest that the three?-factor model is valid and stable.Cross-group validation confirms the high reliability and validity of the model.The structured mean model is employed to observe changes of the three factors over time,and it is found that the participants' foreign language listening anxiety decreases significantly.Since the three factors are correlated with each other while language anxiety is negatively related to language performance,language performance can be improved if any of the three anxiety factors decreases.
