“…The CPTI consists of 28 items that are rated by the preschool, kindergarten, or grade school teacher of a child. Studies have demonstrated that the psychometric properties of the CPTI are adequate both in teacher-rated (e.g., Colins, Fanti, Larsson, et al, 2017; López-Romero et al, 2018) and parent-rated scores (e.g., Luo et al, 2019; Somma et al, 2016; Wang et al, 2018).…”

The Proposed Specifiers for Conduct Disorder (PSCD) Scale is a new measure to assess psychopathic traits and symptoms of conduct disorder (CD) in children and adolescents. The current study examined the psychometric properties of the self-report version of the PSCD in a sample of community adolescents in mainland China ( N = 1,683; mean age = 13.60, SD = 1.14; 54.1% boys). The new instrument showed good internal consistency (alpha) for the 24-item total scale and good mean interitem correlations for each of the six-item subscales. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) were conducted on all 24 items, and also a subset of 13 items that demonstrated strong item-level reliabilities. Using all 24 items, CFA results supported a four-factor bifactor model indicating the total score reflects a broad syndrome with four factors. The four factors included grandiose–manipulative traits (GM traits), callous–unemotional traits (CU traits), daring–impulsive traits (DI traits), and CD traits. The 13-item CFA results provided further support for a four-factor conceptualization of the PSCD and evidence of strong measurement invariance across gender. Finally, the PSCD exhibited the expected relations with other psychopathy measures, anxiety and depression, and aggression, supporting the PSCD scores convergent, discriminant, and criterion related validity. The findings provide preliminary evidence for the four-factor structure of the PSCD and support for the utility of the self-report PSCD for measuring psychopathic traits and CD in Chinese adolescents.

“…Firstly, descriptive statistics of the Grit-S scores were performed with SPSS 22.0 (IBM Corp, 2013). Next, following the previous longitudinal studies (e.g., Wang et al, 2012;Luo et al, 2019), the CFA with Mplus 7 Muthén, 1998-2015) was used to test LMI across time. The proposed two first-order factors structure was seen as a baseline model.…”

The current study examined the longitudinal measurement invariance (LMI) of the Short Grit Scale (Grit-S) in a survey sample of Chinese young adults (N = 233, 48.9% male, mean age = 19.36 years, SD = 0.90 years) who completed the GritS twice over a 3-month interval. Confirmatory factor analysis was conducted to examine the LMI of the GritS across time. Results showed that the GritS has strict longitudinal invariance (i.e., equality of factor patterns, factor loadings, item intercepts, and item uniqueness for all items) over time. Additionally, the internal consistency indices of the GritS were acceptable across time, the stability coefficients over time were moderate, and latent factor means did not differ significantly across time. In sum, these findings suggest that the GritS has satisfactory longitudinal properties when used in Chinese young adults.

“…This proposition has been increasingly acknowledged in recent years. For example, recent youth research has examined factorial invariance over time for different measurements, such as the "Problematic Trait Inventory" [37], the "Short Grit Scale" [38], and the "Center for the Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale" (CES-D) [32,33]. Specifically, the longitudinal invariance of the CES-D ensures that any changes derived from the scale between different time points are attributable to over-time development rather than structural instability in measurement [33].…”

For a multi-dimensional measure of positive youth development (PYD), its factor structure should be invariant across groups and over time. This study examined the factorial validity of the 44-item short form of the “Chinese Positive Youth Development Scale” (CPYDS-SF) that assesses 15 dimensions of PYD attributes. Using two waves of longitudinal data with a one-year interval in between, this study examined the factor structure of the scale and whether the structure is invariant between gender groups and across time. The data were collected from 3,328 adolescents at Wave 1 and 3,638 adolescents at Wave 2, with a matched sample of 2,905 adolescents (mean age = 12.57 ± 0.72 at Wave 1; 49.54% girls). Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the 15-factor structure fitted the data well. The findings of invariance tests further supported this structure’s invariance across gender and time, indicating a stable factor structure of CPYDS-SF among Chinese adolescents. These findings suggest that CPYDS-SF can be used to examine gender differences and the longitudinal development of PYD qualities among Chinese adolescents.
