To develop an involutional state scale for undergraduate graduates, test its reliability and explore
the structural model. Through literature analysis, combined with the results of semi-structured interviews,
the Inset State Scale for Undergraduate Graduates was divided into three dimensions: academic burnout,
over competition and stress perception, and a preliminary scale and a formal scale were developed. The
initial test was administered to 80 undergraduate graduates to explore the structure of the scale through
item analysis and exploratory factor analysis. The formal measure was administered to 251 national
university graduates and the final model structure was determined through validating factor analysis. The
results of the exploratory factor analysis indicated that the scale consisted of 17 items, including three
dimensions of academic burnout, excessive competition, and stress perception. A second-order, 3-factor,
first-order, 17-factor structural model (χ2/df=2.45, GFI=0.917, TLI=0.903, CFI=0.917, RMSEA=0.079)
was derived from the validating factor analysis, and the internal consistency reliability of the total scale
was 0.872. Thus, the involution state scale developed in this study has good reliability. Involution Status
Scale has good reliability and validity and can be used in practice.
