ABSTRACT
Objective To examine the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the metacognition assessment scale 2009 (MAS-R 2009).Methods Sixty college students from a medical university in Shenyang were enrolled in the study.All the subjects were required to fill in the basic information questionnaire,IRI-C,SPM,and the Chinese version of the MAS-R 2009 and had to be interviewed.Two to four weeks later,6 college students were randomly selected to be interviewed again.Results Cronbach'sα coefficient of the Chinese version of MAS-R 2009 was 0.934,test-retest reliability of the scale was 0.935 (r ＜ 0.01),and inter-rater reliability of the scale was 0.832 (P ＜ 0.01).The Chinese version of the MAS-R 2009 had good content validity.The correlation coefficient between the items and the subscales in MAS-R 2009 showed high correlation,and the correlation coefficient ranged from 0.456 to 0.905.Conclusion The results indicate that the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of the revised metacognitive assessment scale 2009 has satisfied the psychometric requirements.It has a certain application value for domestic research and scientific research on the ability of mentalization.
