特质同情量表在中国大学生样本中的信效度

Validity and Reliability of the Trait Sympathy Scales in Chinese College Students

目的:分析特质同情量表(Trait Sympathy Scales,TSS)在中国大学生样本中的测量学性质。方法:共对660名大学生施测了TSS及效标问卷,其中50人在间隔8周后完成了重测。结果:结构效度分析发现双因子探索性结构方程拟合最好,TSS呈现明显的双因子结构,即一个一般同情因子和两个局部因子(弱势群体同情和他人情绪同情)。TSS均分与共情关注、同情量表均分、情绪共情、认知共情及利他行为均显著正相关(r=0.58,0.62,0.29,0.33,0.36)。信度分析显示TSS有较高的同质性信度(>0.70)和合成信度(>0.90),说明计算并报告量表总分与弱势群体同情、他人情绪同情分量表分数有意义;此外,量表重测信度(r=0.54~0.72)也可以接受。结论:TSS在中国大学生样本中信效度良好。

Objective:To test the psychometric properties of the Trait Sympathy Scales(TSS)in Chinese college teach?ers.Methods:A total of 660 college teachers were investigated with a wide survey including TSS and the criterion mea?sures.A test-retest evaluation was undertook in 50 participants after 8 weeks.Results:The results of confirmatory factor analyses supported the bi-factor exploratory structural equation model,and the TSS met the bi-factor structure,namely in?cluding a general sympathy factor and two special domains(Sympathy for the Disempowered and Sympathy for the Feelings of Others).The TSS score was positively correlated with empathic concern,the measure of sympathy score,affective empa?thy,cognitive empathy and altruistic behavior(r=0.58,0.62,0.29,0.33,0.36,respectively).Reliability analyses revealed that the TSS had high homogeneity coefficient(>0.70)and composite reliability(>0.90),and an acceptable test-retest reli?ability(r=0.54~0.72).It is meaningful to report the total TSS score,the subscale scores of Sympathy for the Disempowered and Sympathy for the Feelings of Others.Conclusion:In conclusion,the Chinese version of the TSS has sound validity and reliability among Chinese college students.
