ABSTRACT

Objective:To construct a Chinese Version of MSLSS(Multidimensional Students' Life Satisfac- tion Scale)and test its reliability and validity.Methods:A total of 793 Chinese middle school students completed the MSLSS.Results:In the analysis of Chinese version of MSLSS,the cronbach's a coefficient was 0.90 and the test-retest reliability was 0.86.The correlative coefficients between the total and factors ranged from 0.71 to 0.80,and from 0.36 to 0.57 between different factors.The standardized loading coefficients of items to factors were from 0.35 to 0.89.The standardized loading coefficients of five latent variables to the previous latent variables were from 0.55 to 0.74.All the indexes of confirmatory factor analysis including x~2,x~2/df,NFI,CFI,TLI,RMSEA met the requirement of psychological measurement.Conclusion:The Chinese version of MSLSS can be used to evaluate Chinese middle school students' life satisfaction.
