ABSTRACT
We examined the validity and reliability of the COVID-19 Phobia Scale (C19P-S) in the Chinese cultural context. We translated the original version of the C19P-S into Chinese and assessed its structure through exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, internal consistency reliability tests, and test–retest reliability tests. The Chinese version of the C19P-S comprises 20 items classified into four dimensions: psychological, psychosomatic, economic, and social. According to the statistical results, the scale has adequate psychometric properties in the Chinese cultural context and, therefore, can be used to assess the COVID-19 phobia of Chinese undergraduates.
