中庸思維量表的編製

Development of a Zhong-yong Thinking Style Scale

本研究根據中庸思維的特色，進行中庸思維量表的編製。新編量表以「意見表達」的情境敘述做為依據，將中庸思維定義為「由多個角度來思考同一件事情，在詳細地考慮不同看法之後，選擇可以顧全自我與大局的行為方式」，並分別以「多方思考」、「整合性」、「和諧性」等三大向度撰寫題目。本研究共分為兩個次研究，研究一為量表編製與預試，參與者為96位台大學生；研究二為量表複試，並進行新編量表與楊中芳、趙志裕所編製的中庸量表的比較，參與者為232位台大學生。研究結果顯示新編之中庸思維量表具有良好的信效度。此外，在各項心理計量特性的表現上，新編量表亦優於楊中芳、趙志裕所編製的中庸量表，顯示新編的中庸思維量表較適合作為中庸思維研究的測量工具。

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.
