The main purpose of this study is to develop the “Academic Frustration Tolerance Scale” for college students. The researchers apply questionnaire survey to college students in central Taiwan and 405 participants are first recruited as pretest sample. After conducting item analysis, exploratory factor analysis, and reliability analysis, a 20-item formal scale is obtained. Three factors are extracted, namely academic risk-taking, academic action-taking, and academic emotion-feeling. The Cronbach’s α coefficient for the entire scale is .892, and the coefficients of internal consistency for three subscales are .871, .797, and .776, respectively. Furthermore, 1,420 valid samples are divided into 2 independent groups randomly, namely sample A and B. Sample A is used to perform a confirmatory factor analysis in order to get the most efficient model and sample B is used for the cross-validation. The results indicate that the three-factor oblique model is the most efficient model, showing good reliability, convergent validity, discriminate validity, and criterionrelated validity through internal-component analysis. The model's stability and predictive power are also confirmed. Therefore we can conclude that the “Academic Frustration Tolerance Scale” is a practical tool with good reliability, validity, and stability. It can be offered to the educators for evaluating college students’ frustration tolerance and proceeding further researches. |
