中庸信念－－價值量表之修訂

Revision of the ZhongYong Belief-Value Scale

本研究重新整編楊中芳與趙志裕（1997）的「中庸實踐思維量表」，並針對該量表在研究概念的過度複雜化、與社會讚許的關聯、迫選形式的疑慮，以及缺乏信效度等關鍵問題提供具體的改進與檢證。經因素分析刪題，且將兩類題組適當地合併成為迫選的評量形式之後，則成為一個具有穩定信效度的量表。本研究將新編九題之量表命名為「中庸信念－價值量表」。本研究結果顯示，此量表具有穩定的因素結構，可接受的內部一致性與再測信度，較不受社會讚許的影響，並且能夠穩定的預測華人身心適應程度。

This study revised Yang and Chiu's (1997) ZhongYong Practice Cognition Scale (ZYPC). We intended to resolve the ZYPC's issues, such as overly complex components, confounding of social desirability, suitability of the forced-choice format, and lack of reliability and validity. When these two sets of items were paired, the forced-choice format provided acceptable reliability and validity. The new 9-item scale was renamed the ZhongYong Belief-Value Scale. This new scale has a reliable factor structure, acceptable internal consistency, and good test-retest reliability. It is less affected by social desirability and predicts psychological adjustment.
