Title: | Dimensionality of the Chinese Positive Youth Development Scale : confirmatory factor analyses | Authors: | Shek, DTL Ma, CMS |
Issue Date: | Aug-2010 | Source: | Social indicators research, Aug. 2010, v. 98, no. 1, p. 41-59 | Abstract: | This paper examines the dimensionality and factorial invariance of the Chinese Positive Youth Development Scale (CPYDS) using multigroup confirmatory factor analyses (MCFA). Secondary 1 students (N = 5,649) responded to the CPYDS in the context of a positive youth development program. Results showed that there are 15 basic dimensions of the CPYDS which are subsumed under four higher-order factors (i.e., cognitive-behavioral competencies, prosocial attributes, positive identity and general positive youth development qualities). Evidence of factorial invariance in terms of configuration, first-order factor loadings, second-order factor loadings, intercepts of measured variable, and intercepts of first-order latent factor, was found. The findings suggest that the CPYDS has stable dimensions that can be used to assess positive youth development in Chinese adolescents. | Keywords: | Chinese adolescents Positive youth development Confirmatory factor analysis Chinese Positive Youth Development Scale |
