■柬埔寨青年面临许多独特的挑战,例如高度贫困和代际创伤。砂砾,定义为“对长期目标的毅力和热情”的人级别特征,可能是特别重要的帮助柬埔寨青年成功,尽管他们面临的极端挑战。迄今为止,原始砂砾量表(Grit-O)尚未用高棉语翻译或针对柬埔寨青年样本进行验证。
■本研究旨在评估柬埔寨城市青年中高棉翻译原始砂砾量表(Grit-O)的可靠性和有效性。
■对柬埔寨青年进行了横截面调查-包括Grit-O和其他相关协变量。
■数据来自580名柬埔寨青少年(Mage=15.85岁,SDage=2.05,63.7%为女性)。
■纸和铅笔调查从学校送回家与每个参与者,并返回第二天的研究小组。分析包括计算克朗巴赫的阿尔法,项目间相关性,与相关协变量的相关性,以及验证性和探索性因子分析。
■Cronbach\'salphas和项目间的相关性表明,该样本的完整刻度不可靠,当两个项目(我每隔几个月就对新的追求产生兴趣-反向得分,我完成了我开始的任何事情)被排除在外时,可靠性得到了提高。利益的一致性和努力的毅力子量表比完整量表更可靠。与相关协变量的相关性表明,完整量表是中等有效的。因素分析表明,项目6和7没有很好地加载到任何一个确定的因素上。
■在柬埔寨青年样本中测量砂砾的调查人员应考虑排除砂砾-O的第6和第7项,自己评估两个分量表,而不是将它们视为单个高阶结构的指标。
UNASSIGNED: Cambodian youth face many unique challenges, such as high instances of poverty and intergenerational trauma. Grit, a person-level trait defined as having \"perseverance and passion for long-term goals\", may be particularly important in helping Cambodian youth to succeed despite the extreme challenges they face. To date, the Original Grit Scale (Grit-O) has not been translated in Khmer or validated for a sample of Cambodian youth.
UNASSIGNED: This study aimed to assess the reliability and validity of a Khmer translation of the Original Grit Scale (Grit-O) among urban Cambodian youth.
UNASSIGNED: A cross-section survey battery -including Grit-O and other relevant covariates -was administered to Cambodian youth.
UNASSIGNED: Data were collected from 580 Cambodian adolescents (Mage = 15.85 years, SDage = 2.05, 63.7% female).
UNASSIGNED: Paper and pencil surveys were sent home from school with each participant and returned to the study team the next day. Analyses included calculating Cronbach\'s alphas, interitem correlations, correlations with relevant covariates and both a confirmatory and exploratory factor analysis.
UNASSIGNED: Cronbach\'s alphas and interitem correlations indicated that the full scale was not reliable for this sample, and that reliability improved when two items (I become interested in new pursuits every few months -reverse-scored and I finish whatever I begin) were excluded. The subscales Consistency of Interests and Perseverance of Effort were more reliable than the full scale. Correlations with relevant covariates indicated that the full scale was moderately valid. Factor analyses suggested that items 6 and 7 did not load well onto either identified factor.
UNASSIGNED: Investigators measuring grit in a sample of Cambodian youth should consider excluding items 6 and 7 of Grit-O, and assessing the two subscales on their own, rather than treating them as indicators of a single higher-order construct.
