Objective:To revise the Social Fat Perception Scale(SI-FAT)and test its validity and reliability in female college students.Methods:A total of 564 female college students(sample 1)were recruited for explora-tory factor analysis.In addition,557 female college students(sample 2)were recruited to conduct confirmatory fac-tor analysis,validity of correlation and convergence validity of targets,and internal consistency reliability testing.Fifty-nine female college students(sample 3)were recruited for retesting 1 week apart The Social Physical Anxiety Scale(SPA)and Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale(BFNES)were used as benchmarking tools.Results:The Chinese version of SI-FAT had a 4-factor(parent,peer,partner,media)structure,a total of 16 i-tems,the cumulative amount of explanatory variance was 76.64%,and the item load was between 0.65-0.94,and the confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model fit was good(x2/df=4.48,CFI=0.94,TLI=0.92,SRMR=0.06,RMSEA=0.08).The SI-FAT scores were positively correlated with the scores of SPA and BFNES(ICC=0.40,0.43,P<0.001).The Cronbach α coefficients of the SI-FAT scale and its 4 factors were 0.83-0.94,and the retest reliabilities(ICC)were 0.61-0.68.Conclusion:The Chinese version of the Social Fat Perception Scale has a good validity and reliability in assessing the perception of social fat in female college students.

Objective:To develop the College Students'Perceived Social Mindfulness Scale(C-PSMS)and test its validity and reliability.Methods:Based on the results of literature analysis,the psychological structure of perceived social mindfulness was formulated,25 college students were selected for semi-structured interview,and the initial scale was determined after item evaluation.809 college students were recruited to finish the initial scale for items analysis and exploratory factor analysis to form the formal administration scale.689 college students were selected for confirmatory factor analysis,criterion related validity and internal consistency reliability test,with the Positive Affect and Negative Affect Scale(PANAS)and Interpersonal Trust Scale(ITS)as validity criterion,which formed the formal scale.Totally 80 college students were assessed with C-PSMS after one month later.Results:There were 18 items in the C-PSMS,with a single dimension,the factor loadings ranged 0.61 to 0.75,the structural validity was good(x2/df=3.55,NFI=0.93,IFI=0.95,TLI=0.94,CFI=0.95,RMSEA=0.06).The C-PMS scores were positively correlated with the PANAS positive affect scores and ITS scores(r=0.62、0.52,PS<0.01),and negatively correlated with the PANAS negative affect scores(r=-0.42,P<0.01).The Cronbach α coefficient was 0.94,and the test-retest reliability was 0.74.Conclusion:The College Students'Perceived Social Mindfulness Scale(C-PSMS)in this study meets the psychometric standards.
