ABSTRACT
Objective : To set up the subjective well-being scale for Chinese middle school students. Methods: 1404 middle school students from 11 middle schools in Shenzhen finished the middle school students subjective well-being scale. Results : The result of Item Analysis showed that 20 items of the scale met psychometric criteria. The scale's internal consistency was 0.897, split reliability 0.827. It had acceptable discriminant validity: subjects with higher scale scores also had significantly higher scores in every items than those with lower scale scores, and this scale could effectively differentiate students with high and low school achievements. Exploratory factor analyses indicated that the scale had one dominant factor. Conclusion : The Chinese middle school students subjective well-being scale has met basic psychometric criteria for further research.

ABSTRACT
Objective: To revise the Chinese version of the Social Comparison Orientation Scale. Methods: The questionnaire was administered to two samples with total of 1023 individuals. Results: The item analysis showed that all of the 11 items met psychometric criteria. The confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the Chinese version of Social Comparison Scale was composed of two dimensions, which were ability and concept, which can explained 55. 6% of total variance. The internal consistency reliability was 0. 88 and the four weeks tesl-retest reliability coefficient was 0. 89. The further analysis revealed that the male sample had significantly lower scores than female sample (39. 4 ? 8. 7/41. 4 ?7. 3, t= -4. 06), and the employee sample had significantly lower scores than student sample (39. 5 ? 8. 6/41. 3 ?7. 5, t = -3. 98, P
ABSTRACT
Objective : To revise the general self-efficacy scale. Methods : 3094 subjects from 7 different cities in China finished the general self-efficacy scale. Results : The result of Item Analysis showed that 19 of the scale met psychometric criteria. The scale's internal consistency was 0.81, split reliability 0.81. It had acceptable discriminant validity: subjects with higher scale scores also had significantly higher scores in every items than those with lower scale scores, and this scale could effectively differentiate the high and low level managers, it also could effectively differentiate the managers groug and workers group. Exploratory factor analyses indicated that the scale had one dominant factor. Conclusion : The general self-efficacy scale has sound psychometric properties for further research.
