中庸思维量表的编制

Development of a Zhong-yong Thinking Style Scale

本研究根据中庸思维的特色，进行中庸思维量表的编制。新编量表以「意见表达」的情境叙述做为依据，将中庸思维定义为「由多个角度来思考同一件事情，在详细地考虑不同看法之後，选择可以顾全自我与大局的行为方式」，并分别以「多方思考」、「整合性」、「和谐性」等三大向度撰写题目。本研究共分为两个次研究，研究一为量表编制与预试，参与者为96位台大学生；研究二为量表复试，并进行新编量表与杨中芳、赵志裕所编制的中庸量表的比较，参与者为232位台大学生。研究结果显示新编之中庸思维量表具有良好的信效度。此外，在各项心理计量特性的表现上，新编量表亦优於杨中芳、赵志裕所编制的中庸量表，显示新编的中庸思维量表较适合作为中庸思维研究的测量工具。

This article consists of two studies. Ninety-six university students participated in the first study in which the zhong-yong thinking style (considering things carefully from different aspects and conducting appropriate behaviors to account for whole situation) is defined and items for measuring it were generated and subjected to item, reliability, and validity analyses. Reliability and validity of the scale were adequate. Using as sample of 232 university students, the second study further examined the psychometric properties of the scale and compared them with a previous zhong-yong scale developed by Chiu. The new scale had better psychometric properties than the old one.
