Abstract

Objective ·To examine the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of Fear of Self Questionnaire (FSQ) among Chinese university students. Methods ·Based on the standard questionnaire translation model, the English version of FSQ was translated into Chinese and the cultural debugging was conducted. A total of 396 students from three science and engineering majors of a comprehensive university in Shanghai from December 2021 to January 2022 were tested with the general information questionnaire, the Chinese version of FSQ, the Chinese version of Ego Identity Scale (EIS), the Chinese version of Self Acceptance Questionnaire (SAQ) and the Chinese version of Obsessive Belief Questionnaire-44 (OBQ-44). The Chinese version of FSQ was tested by item analysis, and the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of FSQ were tested by item analysis, internal consistency reliability, split half reliability, retest reliability, criterion validity, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. Results ·A total of 386 valid questionnaires were recovered in the initial test, and 163 valid questionnaires were recovered in the retest. A total of 20 items in the Chinese version of FSQ passed the item analysis test, and all items were retained. The internal consistency reliability, split half reliability and retest reliability of the Chinese version of FSQ were 0.931, 0.869 and 0.736, respectively, which met the requirements of metrology. The criterion validity of the Chinese version of FSQ was good, and the total score of the Chinese version of FSQ was significantly correlated with the total score of the three criterion validity questionnaires [Chinese version of EIS (r=-0.279, P=0.000), Chinese version of SAQ (r=-0.568, P=0.000) and Chinese version of OBQ-44 (r=0.418, P=0.000)]. The exploratory factor analysis of the Chinese version of FSQ showed that the questionnaire contained three factors: self fear, self assurance and self questioning. The confirmatory factor analysis of the Chinese version of FSQ showed that the indicators of the three-factor structural equation model fitted well, including χ2/df = 2.790, CFI=0.862, GFI=0.834, AGFI=0.791, RMSEA=0.090, TLI=0.843, NFI=0.802. Conclusion ·The Chinese version of FSQ in this study has good reliability and validity among Chinese university students, and can be used to measure the level of feared self of this group.
