Abstract

The present article describes the development and validation of the Informational and Normative Conformity Scale (SKI-N), a brief self-report tool capturing adolescents' general propensity to adopt a conformist attitude, and the underlying motives for doing so. The presentation includes a description of scale construction and an assessment of the psychometric properties. In two independent samples of adolescents (total N = 1,953), the SKI-N factorial structure was investigated, and the reliability and dimensionality, the multi-group measurement invariance, and the construct validity were each verified. The findings showed that the scale structure is bi-factorial, and the tool is reliable, valid, and invariant across gender. Therefore, the SKI-N can be applied in research and/or in psychological and educational practice to provide important information in a broader assessment of students’ psychosocial functioning in the school environment. Moreover, compared to currently available measures, it fills a gap in the tools for measuring conformity in the adolescent population.

高中青少年从众:信息与规范从众量表的开发与验证

本文描述了信息和规范从众量表(SKI-N)的发展和验证，这是一个简短的自我报告工具，捕捉青少年采取从众态度的一般倾向，以及这样做的潜在动机。本报告包括对量表结构的描述和对心理测量特性的评估。在两个独立的青少年样本(总N = 1953)中，研究了SKI-N因子结构，并对信度和维度、多组测量不变性和结构效度进行了验证。研究结果表明，量表结构是双因子的，该工具在性别上是可靠、有效和不变的。因此，SKI-N可以应用于研究和/或心理学和教育实践，为更广泛地评估学生在学校环境中的社会心理功能提供重要信息。此外，与目前可用的措施相比，它填补了衡量青少年群体从众行为的工具的空白。
