Development and reliability,validity testing of college students'proactive aggression questionnaire
Objective To develop college students'proactive aggression questionnaire(CPAQ)and test its reliability and validity.Methods From March 2023 to April 2024,a questionnaire survey was conducted among 1 552 college students(618 individuals in Sample 1,783 individuals in Sample 2,151 indi-viduals in Sample 3(retested after a 6-month interval),and 49 individuals in Sample 4(randomly selected from Sample 3)).The reliability and validity of CPAQ were assessed using SPSS 24.0 and Mplus 8.3 soft-ware through item analysis,exploratory factor analysis,confirmatory factor analysis,internal consistency relia-bility,test-retest reliability,compatibility validity,discriminant validity,and empirical validity.Results The results of the project analysis showed that the 33 items in the CPAQ were significantly correlated with the to-tal score(r=0.25-0.78,P＜0.05),and item scores between the high and low group were significantly differ-ent(all P＜0.001).Exploratory factor analysis retained 28 items,which belonged to three dimensions of pro-active aggression(instrumental motivation,moral inhibition,and moral disengagement).The results of con-firmatory factor analysis showed that the three-dimensional model of the questionnaire was well fitted(x2/df=3.25,CFI=0.96,TLI=0.95,RMSEA=0.05,SRMR=0.06).The Cronbach's α coefficients for the total score of CPAQ and its sub dimensions were 0.93,0.95,0.89 and 0.75,respectively(all P＜0.05).The test-retest reliability was 0.64,0.63,0.67 and 0.60,respectively(all P＜0.01).In the compatibility va-lidity test,the instrumental motivation dimension score was positively correlated with the proactive aggression dimension score of reactive-proactive aggression questionnaire(RPQ)(r=0.50,P＜0.05),while moral inhi-bition dimension was negatively correlated with empathy and guilt scores(r=-0.30,-0.39,P＜0.05).The dimension of moral disengagement was positively correlated with the score of the moral disengagement scale(r=0.58,P＜0.05).In the discriminant validity test,the correlation of CAPQ and RPQ reactive aggression dimension score was not significant(r=0.08,P=0.16).In the criterion related validity test,the correlation coefficients between the score of CAPQ and each calibration questionnaire and scale were 0.70-0.83.In the empirical validity test,there was a significant difference in the different CPAQ score groups for proactive ag-gressive behavior(high group:(1.16±0.18),low group:(1.04±0.08),t=2.60,P＜0.05).Conclusion CPAQ has good discrimination,reliability,and validity,which could be used as a tool to meas-ure proactive aggressive behavior among college students.
