Reliability and Validity

The questionnaire exhibits high internal consistency and reliability, as indicated by the internal consistency coefficients and test-retest reliability coefficients listed above.

Factors and Subscales

– “朋友支持” (Friend Support) refers to various forms of support provided by friends.
– “家人支持” (Family Support) pertains mainly to the different kinds of support offered by family members.
– “其他支持” (Other Support) includes other forms of support received by individuals, including that from others, social institutions, or media.

The average values for each factor in descending order are: 家人支持 (Family Support) > 其他支持 (Other Support) > 朋友支持 (Friend Support) > 总的支持 (Total Support). This indicates that while friends provide the most total support, family members are more likely to offer help during difficult times.
