Firstly, the internal consistency of the two subscales were qualified, the coefficient alpha of two subscales were 0.85 and 0.82 respectively; test-retest reliability were 0.74 and 0.76 respectively; secondly, compared with original scales, the construct of C-MLQ also had two factors, the item factor loadings ranging from 0.61 to 0.78 on the factor it belonged to. Thirdly, the correlations of C-MLQ and criterion measurement were 0.025 to 0.637. Finally, there were no gender difference in the scores of two subscales.Conclusion:
