Title: Development of A College Female Student Appearance-management Behavior Scale
Abstract: Objective:To develop an appearance-management behavior scale for college female students.Methods:Based on literature analysis and open questionnaire,the preliminary scale was formed.A total of 822 college female students completed the scale.Exploratory and confirmatory factor analytic approaches were used to develop and evaluate the intra-structure of the scale.Results:Exploratory principle factor analysis of the items indicated that the scale had three factors.Internal consistency analysis showed that the Cronbach' α coefficient,split-half and test-retest correlation coefficients were 0.88,0.86,0.77 respectively.Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the fit indexes for χ2/df,GFI,AGFI,NFI,NNFI,RMSEA,CFI,IFI were 3.20,0.87,0.83,0.82,0.85,0.085,0.87,0.87.Total scale had no significant correlation with SAAS,but with APS,PSS,IMS,SES (r=0.23,0.21,0.38,0.28,P0.05).Conclusion:The scale achieves from good to exellent levels of internal consistency,test-retest reliability and content,construct and criteria-related validity.
