This study examined the reliability and validity of the short-form Chinese version of the Social Skills Improvement System-Rating Scales (SSIS-RS) for adolescent students; SSIS-RS comprises two scales, each assessing social skills and problem behaviors. The research sample consisted of 1031 grade 7-12 students [515 boys and 516 girls; mean (standard deviation) age = 15.58 (1.75) years]. The Adolescent Social Behavior Scale Student Form was also applied; moreover, AMOS (version 20.0) was used for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The Cronbach's alpha and test-retest reliability values were respectively .74- .84 and .67- .85 for the social skill subscales and .70- .74 and .70- .76 for the problem behavior subscales. The CFA results revealed that the theoretical models presented good model fit, suggesting that the empirical data supported the hypothesized theoretical frameworks of the social skill and problem behavior scales. The social skills and problem behavior scale scores strongly correlated with the scores of the adaptive and maladaptive behavior scales of the Adolescent Social Behavior Scale Student Form, respectively. Moreover, the observed classification consistency was high between the original and the short-form version of the Chinese SSIS-RS for the current adolescent students. Taken together, the current results demonstrate good reliability and validity of the short-form Chinese version of SSIS-RS in adolescent students. |
