Abstract:
Objective:To develop the Social Anxiety Inventory (SAI) for Chinese college students, and to provide its norm of college students. Methods:The SAI was filled by 520 college subjects, 255 males and 265 females aged 20.5?1.3, for exploratory factor analysis (EFA). The second sample for confir-matory factor analysis (CFA) has 1891 college students, 888 males and 999 females (4 gender missing) and aged 20.8?1.6. The third sample has 26 college students from Peking University for test-retest study. Re鄄sults:The results of EFA have three factors, tension and anxiety (TA), social interaction sensitivity (SIS), and social interaction confidence (SIC). After deleting few items by the Modification Index (M.I.) sugges-tions from the AMOS 4.0's outputs, the results of CFA showed the fitness of the sample data to the origi-nal three-factor-model of EFA (CMIN/DF=3.027, GFI=0.939, AGFI=0.925, TLI=0.891, CFI=0.903, RM-SEA=0.046). Reliabilities of three factors are higher than 0.70. The norm of the SAI for Chinese college students was supplied in this study. Conclusion:The results suggest that the SAI, with eligible psychometric quality, can be applicable to Chinese college students.
