来华留学生生活压力量表修订及应用研究

Revision and Application of International Students' Living Stress Scale Among International College Students in China

留学生教育已经成为我国高等教育的重要组成部分。以来华留学生为样本,修订了美国学者开发的留学生生活压力量表(The Index of Life Stress)。实证研究阶段共回收424份有效问卷,整份量表的克朗巴赫α系数达到0. 875。探索性因素分析结果显示,来华留学生生活压力有六个维度:社交压力、新文化压力、经济压力、学业压力、未来选择压力和语言压力。验证性因素分析结果证明六因素的结构模型能较好地拟合数据。综合研究结果表明,该量表具有良好的信效度,可为我国来华留学生生活压力研究提供测量工具上的有效支持。

Foreign student education has become an important part of Chinese higher education. The current study constructed The Index of Life Stress based on a sample of international college students in China. In our empirical study,424 questionnaires were collected. And the Cronbach’s α of the scale was 0.875. The exploratory factor analysis revealed a six-dimensional structure of life stress：social pressure,new cultural pressure,economic pressure,academic pressure,future choice pressure and language pressure. The result of confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the validity of the five-factor model. It could be concluded that the scale demonstrates satisfactory reliability and validity,and it could provide psychometric support in studying life stress of international college students in China.
