Abstract
Objective:To develop Chinese Marital Quality Inventory (CMQI) and examine it's reliability and validity.Methods:A 90-items, self-report measure of marital quality was developed based definition of marital quality and Jackson's fundamental principles of scale construction. The test-retest reliability, split-half reliability, internal consistency reliability, construct validity, and empirical validity were examined in the general sample of 1303 subjects, retest sample of 52 subjects, and validity sample of 95 subjects, aged from 6 to 91 years. Results: The stability coefficients, split-half reliability, Cronbach's α coefficients were 0.852,0.899, and 0.925 for total score, 0.672~0.856,0.477~0.698 and 0.462~0.645 for 10 dimensions. The CMQI was significantly correlated with ENRICH. The correlations between dimensions ranged from 0.502 to 0.745.Factor loadings and correlations between dimensions and total score were above 0.77. The dimensional scores and total score were significantly correlated with some score of the SCL-90 and MMPI. The marital quality of separation and divorcee was worse than that of subjects in marriage. Conclusion: The stability, internal consistency, and validity of the CMQI are good and meet with psychometric standard.
期刊介绍:
Founded in 1993, Chinese Journal of Clinical Psychology is under the supervision of the Ministry of Education of China and organized by China Mental Health Association. The journal mainly publishes original research reports on various subdisciplines of clinical psychology in China, as well as reviews reflecting the hot spots and dynamics of clinical psychology research at home and abroad. There are columns on basic and experimental research, psychological testing and assessment, pathological psychology, health psychology, psychotherapy and counseling. The main readers are scientific and technical personnel, postgraduate students, and clinical workers engaged in scientific research and practical activities in clinical psychology, applied psychology, and mental health in universities, research institutes, and key medical and healthcare organizations.
