摘要 |
The study revised the Parental Psychological Control Scale (PPCS) among Chinese college students (N=604) and analyzed its construct validity, criterion-related validity, internal reliability, and test-retest reliability using an exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) approach. Results showed that the revised PPCS contained three factors, including nine items. Notably, the three-factor ESEM solution fits the data better than the classical confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) approach. Measurement invariance of the scale was confirmed across gender groups based on ESEM. The criterion-related validity of the PPCS was also investigated within the ESEM approach using self-esteem as a validity criterion. The internal consistency and the test-retest reliability were also examined. Findings showed that the psychometric characteristics of the PPCS were favorable for its use as an assessment tool for parental psychological control of Chinese college students. |
