Abstract:
Objective: To develop a healthy personality scale for undergraduates.Methods: A healthy personality scale was developed based on interviews,open questionnaires and theory hypothesis.The test-retest reliability,split-half reliability,internal consistency reliability,construct validity were examined.Results: Exploratory principle factor analysis of the items indicated that the scale had three factors: self consistency and congruence,self-social harmony,practical ability,which explained 54.8% of the total variance.The Cronbach's ? coefficient ranged from 0.82 to 0.94,split-half reliability ranged from 0.70 to 0.85,and retest reliability ranged from 0.73 to 0.84.In the confirmatory factor analysis of the three factor model,fit statistics(RMSEA=0.07,NFI=0.95,NNFI=0.96,CFI=0.94,GFI=0.95) for the model best explained the observed relationship.The three dimensions and the total scale had significant positive correlations with self-esteem and subjective well-being and significant negative correlations with SCL-90.Conclusion: The results suggest the healthy personality scale with eligible psychometric quality,can be applicable to Chinese undergraduates.
