Development and Reliability and Validity Evaluation of the Sense of Gain Scale on Individuals with Disabilities
Objective:To evaluate the sense of gain on individuals with disabilities effectively,the sense of gain scale on individuals with disabilities was developed,and its reliability and validity were tested.Methods:Based on the literature review and interview data,the theory structure of the scale and initial items were explored.The final scale was designed through pre and formal test,and examined via item analysis,factor analysis,reliability and validity assessment.Results:The sense of gain scale on individuals with disabilities consisted of 23 items,including four dimensions:material life,social security,self-worth and interpersonal emotion.The internal consistency reliabilities of sense of gain scale on individuals with disabilities and its dimensions were between 0.773~0.953,and the test-retest reliabilities were between 0.891~0.956.Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the scale's four-factor structure model fitted well.There were significant positive correlation between the total scale and its subscales and among dimensions(0.588~0.938).And there were signifi-cant positive correlations between the four dimensions of the scale and the criterion scale(0.376~0.799).Conclusion:The scale meets the requirements of psychometrics and can be used as a measuring tool for the study of the sense of gain on indi-viduals with disabilities.
