The General and Specific Factors of The Zhong-Yong Thinking:A Bifactor Perspective
With a sample of 2,867 Chinese undergraduates,this study explored the general and specific factors of the Zhong-Yong thinking Style Scale(ZYTSC)from a bifactor perspective.The results showed that the general factor was more dominant than the specific factor.Nevertheless,after controlling the general factor,the variance of multi-thinking and harmony still accounted for 23%and 26%,respectively,indicating specific factors such as multi-thinking and harmony were also significant;Multiple-group confirmatory factor analysis supported measurement invariance of bifactor model of the Zhong-Yong thinking Style Scale at scalar level across different genders and grades.This study suggests that the Zhong-Yong thinking Style Scale measures both the general and the specific of Zhong-Yong thinking.The implication for Zhong-Yong thinking and application of the Zhong-Yong thinking Style Scale has been also discussed.
