摘要
日内瓦情感量表(GSS)测量被感动的体验及其对行为的影响。尽管这种情绪反应很普遍,但在中国还没有广泛的研究。本研究旨在为中国大学生改编和修订日内瓦情绪量表,以评估其跨文化一致性。1328名年龄在18-24岁之间的学生参与了研究,其中127名学生在间隔8周后被随机抽取进行重测。探索性因子分析显示,中文版 GSS 包括三个因子(情绪标签、喜极而泣和胸中暖意),共九个项目。三个因子和整个量表的内部一致性系数较高,总分随时间推移保持稳定。确认性因素分析(CFA)表明,三因素模型具有良好的拟合性。多组 CFA 显示了不同性别间的测量不变性。结果还表明,该量表具有良好的判别效度和收敛效度。总之,GSS 是评估中国大学生 "被感动 "情绪的可靠而灵活的工具。
Psychometric evaluation of the Geneva Sentimentality Scale in Chinese college students.
The Geneva Sentimentality Scale (GSS) measures the experience of being moved and its effects on behavior. Despite the prevalence of this emotional response, it has not been extensively studied in China. This study aims to adapt and revise the GSS for Chinese college students to assess its cross-cultural consistency. A sample of 1328 students aged 18-24 years participated in the study, with 127 randomly selected for retesting after an 8-week interval. Exploratory factor analysis reveals that the Chinese version of the GSS includes three factors (emotional labels, tears of joy, and warm feelings in the chest), with a total of nine items. The internal consistency coefficients for the three factors and the overall scale are high, and the total score remains stable over time. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) shows that the three-factor model has a good fit. Multigroup CFA indicates measurement invariance across genders. The results also demonstrate good discriminant and convergent validity for the scale. Overall, the GSS is a reliable and flexible tool for assessing the emotion of being moved among Chinese college students.
