Objective: To revise the life skills scale for college students in Chinese, test its reliability and
validity, and investigate its applicability in Chinese college students. Methods: 906 college students
were tested with Life Skills Scale (LSAS) for the first time to verify its reliability and validity, 180 of
whom completed the retest two weeks later. Then 438 college students were tested with Life Skills Scale
(LSAS), Two dimensional Self esteem Scale (SLCS-R), Career Decision Self efficacy Scale (CDMSE),
and Communication Anxiety Scale (IAS) for the second time to verify the calibration related validity of
the scale. Results: The item analysis showed that 41 items had good discrimination, and the correlation
between each item and the total score was 0.54 ~ 0.72. Six factors were extracted by exploratory factor
analysis; According to the dimensions and theory of the original scale, confirmatory factor analysis shows
that the model fits well. Using self-esteem, career decision-making self-efficacy and communication
anxiety as the criterion, we found that all dimensions were significantly negatively correlated with IAS,
and positively correlated with SLCS-R and CDMSE, with correlation coefficients between - 0.12 ~ 0.70.
Reliability analysis shows that Cronbach’s α The coefficient is between 0.69 and 0.96. Conclusion: The
revised Chinese version of College Students’ Life Skills Scale has good reliability and validity in Chinese
college students.
