Questionnaire preparation on College Students’ Attitude towards Psychological Counseling and its reliability validity test

Objective To prepare a questionnaire of college students on psychological counseling and test their reliability validity. Methods The first draft of the questionnaire is prepared, and 502 college students in a university are conveniently sampled to analyze the reliability validity of the questionnaire. Results are extracted from 4 factors by exploratory factor analysis, including 18 items, with good main fitting indicators (χ2/df=2.54, RMSEA=0.05, CFI=0.94, IFI=0.94, TLI=0.93, NFI=0.91), with good convergence and discrimination validity, and the Cronbach’s a coefficient of the total table is 0.85. Based on the correlation analysis between each dimension and demographic variables, gender has a p-value of 0.025 on the "internal negative attitude" dimension (p<0.05), and having a psychological counseling experience is significant on the "internal positive attitude" dimension (p<0.05). Conclusion The questionnaire of college students has good reliability and validity and is an effective and feasible measurement tool. In addition, gender is significant in the "internal negative attitude" dimension, and having psychological counseling experience or not is significant in the "internal positive attitude" dimension.
