To explore the present status of Critical thinking and its relevant factors among undergraduates.A stratified random sampling was used to select 1013 undergraduates from 7 full-time colleges in Guangdong province.They were investigated with California Critical Thinking Disposition Inventory-Chinese Version(CTDI-CV)and a Self-Compiled Personal General Information Questionnaire.(1)The total score of CTDI-CV was(254.16±38.80).The undergraduates in the four levels of critical thinking of comprehensive strong,relatively strong,contradictory scope and serious opposition accounted for 1.78%,5.31%,87.4%and 5.51%of this group,respectively.(2)Multiple stepwise linear regression showed that the total score of CTDI-CV was positively correlated with the following 10 factors such as grade,family economic status,part-time experience,the teaching method used most commonly,like reading logic books,like reading reviews or essays,father’s warmth,mother’s warmth,openness and responsibility(β=.142 to.701,all P<.05).The following 5 factors such as father’s negation,father’s overprotection,mother’s negation,mother’s overprotection and neuroticism were negatively correlated with the total score of CTDI-CV(β=-.381 to-.616,all P<0.05).The overall level of critical thinking among undergraduates is relatively low.College Students’critical thinking may be related to many factors such as family rearing,school education and personal characteristics.
