Abstract:
Objective: To develop a social support scale for university students. Methods: Based on Xiao Shuiyuan’s social support theory (subjective support, objective support and support utilization),the Social Support Scale for University Students, including 17 items, had been developed and its reliabilities and validities had been studied. Results: The discrimination index of the items were 0.26-0.52, and the ? coefficients of the total and three subscales was 0.81-0.91. Three factor model had been founded by exploratory factor analysis based on the first sample(N=212) and demonstrated by confirmatory factor analysis on the second sample (N=211). The scores of this scale had significant correlations with Xiao Shuiyuan’s social support rating scale and SCL-90 scale. Conclusion: A good psychometric feature of the scale had been demonstrated.
