Abstract

Objective

This study examined the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the 12-item Expectations of Aging Scale (C-ERA-12).

Method

Psychometric properties were evaluated by conducting confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to assess construct validity to determine whether the C-ERA-12 supports the three-factor structure (physical health, mental health, and cognitive function) identified in the original version. Convergent validity was assessed through correlation analysis, and known-group validity was evaluated by the C-ERA-12′s ability to significantly differentiate between risk groups. Internal consistency was measured using Cronbach’s alpha.

Results

The CFA results supported the three-factor structure. Mild-to-moderate associations were observed between the C-ERA-12 and relevant measures, demonstrating acceptable convergent validity. Known-group validity was partially supported. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of 0.85 indicated good internal consistency.

Conclusion

The C-ERA-12 has good psychometric properties and can be used as a valid instrument to measure expectations regarding aging in the Chinese population.
简体中文版老龄化期望量表-12的心理测量特性评价
目的探讨中文版12项老龄化期望量表(C-ERA-12)的心理测量学特征。方法采用验证性因子分析(CFA)评估结构效度,评估C-ERA-12是否支持原版本中确定的三因素结构(身体健康、心理健康和认知功能)。通过相关分析评估收敛效度,通过C-ERA-12显著区分风险组的能力评估已知组效度。内部一致性采用Cronbach’s alpha测量。结果CFA结果支持三因素结构。在C-ERA-12和相关测量之间观察到轻度至中度的关联,显示出可接受的收敛效度。已知组效度得到部分支持。Cronbach’s alpha系数为0.85,表明内部一致性较好。结论C-ERA-12具有良好的心理测量性能,可作为衡量中国人口老龄化预期的有效工具。
