Development of the social integration self-rating scale and the reliability, validity analysis of the disabled people / 中华行为医学与脑科学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective To develop social integration scale of the disabled,and to test the reliability and validity of the scale.Methods 511 disabled persons were investigated by self-made social integration scale and Chinese version of positive and negative affect schedule (PANAS-C).Results The Scale was composed of three factorsself integration,relationship integration and affection integration,and they explained 47.39％ of variance.The theoretical model fit could be accepted (x2/df =2.051,P＜0.001;RMSEA =0.046;GFI =0.884;CFI =0.926;IFI =0.927).The factors had significant correlated with positive affect (r=0.34-0.55,P＜0.01)and positive affect (r=-0.12--0.32,P＜0.01).The high score group and low score group of social integration had significant differences in positive affect (t=13.77,P＜0.01)and negative affect(t=-7.58,P＜0.01).The cronbach's alpha coefficients of the scale and the three factors were 0.94,0.92,0.87 and 0.89 respectively,and the seven sub-factors'cronbach 's alpha coefficients were from 0.76 to 0.87.Conclusion The theory construct of social integration of the disabled is multi-hierarchical and multi-dimensional.The scale has acceptable reliability and validity,and can be used to assess the degree of social integration of the disabled.
