Methods: Participants included 1103 adolescents from Hunan Province and Hainan Province in China. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted to determine the structure of the RRS on a large scale. Multiple CFAs were utilized to test the measurement invariance of the three subscales included in the RRS, across gender and age. Results: The RRS exhibited strong internal consistency (overall Cronbach's alpha coefficient = 0.927) and internal reliability (0.362-0.864). The CFA showed a valid three-factor model. Measurement invariance of the model across gender and age was fully supported. Conclusions: Total RRS and subscales have accepted validity and reliability. Three-factor model of the RRS across gender and age was established. Measurement equivalence of the RRS across gender and age was established among Chinese adolescents. These findings suggest that the use of the RRS in comparing samples across gender and age is valid.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
