Abstract

The Thinking about Life Experiences (TALE) Scale is well-used in the autobiographical memory literature. Through rigorous examination of its psychometric properties, this study aimed to validate a Korean version of the Thinking About Life Experiences Scale (TALE-K) with Korean adults. Data were collected through an online survey. The TALE-K, and for convergent validity purposes the Korean-Reminiscence Functions Scale for the Elderly (K-RFS-E), were administered to participants aged 19 years to 77. Data from 440 community participants were analyzed. Structural validity and convergent validity were confirmed. Measurement invariance was confirmed across gender but it was partially confirmed across age group. Overall, Cronbach's αs for the three subscales and intra-class correlation coefficients were good to excellent. The TALE-K seems to be a reliable, valid self-report instrument for measuring three autobiographical memory functions (i.e., self-continuity, social-bonding, and directing-behavior functions) in Korean adults. Further studies to better understand autobiographical memory functions in different age groups are recommended.

验证韩国版 "思考人生经历量表

思考人生经历量表（TALE）在自传体记忆文献中被广泛使用。本研究旨在通过对其心理测量特性的严格检验，在韩国成年人中验证韩文版 "思考人生经历量表"（TALE-K）。数据是通过在线调查收集的。TALE-K和韩国老年人回忆功能量表（K-RFS-E）的收敛效度均针对19至77岁的参与者。对 440 名社区参与者的数据进行了分析。结构效度和收敛效度均得到证实。测量不变性在不同性别间得到了证实，但在不同年龄组间得到了部分证实。总体而言，三个分量表的 Cronbach's αs 和类内相关系数都达到了良好到优秀的水平。TALE-K似乎是一种可靠、有效的自我报告工具，可用于测量韩国成年人的三种自传体记忆功能（即自我连续性、社会联系和指导行为功能）。建议进一步开展研究，以更好地了解不同年龄组的自传体记忆功能。

期刊介绍： Applied Cognitive Psychology seeks to publish the best papers dealing with psychological analyses of memory, learning, thinking, problem solving, language, and consciousness as they occur in the real world. Applied Cognitive Psychology will publish papers on a wide variety of issues and from diverse theoretical perspectives. The journal focuses on studies of human performance and basic cognitive skills in everyday environments including, but not restricted to, studies of eyewitness memory, autobiographical memory, spatial cognition, skill training, expertise and skilled behaviour. Articles will normally combine realistic investigations of real world events with appropriate theoretical analyses and proper appraisal of practical implications.
