Abstract
Objective To develop the state-owned enterprise worker's stressor scale and assess its reliability and validity. Methods Combined qualitative and quantitive methods, the state-owned enterprise worker's stressor scale was developed based deep interviews. Data were collected from 6400 state-owned enterprise workers in China. The initial sample was split randomly into two samples (n1=2835; n2=2834). The first data were used to set for exploratory factor analysis(EFA) and the second data were used for confirmatory factor analysis(CFA).3 subscales (anxiety, depression and somatization) of symptom checklist 90(SCL-90) were used for testing criterion validity. Results The state-owned enterprise worker's stressor scale got 4 factors and 15 items, including job stressor, relationship stressor, development stressor and family stressor.The Cronbach α coefficients of the full scale and its four factors were 0.66~0.86. The results of CFA showed RMSEA=0.066, NFI=0.97, NNFI=0.97, CFI=0.97, IFI=0.97, GFI=0.95. In addition, stressor and its four factors had significant positive correlations with anxiety, depression and somatization(r=0.29-0.43, P<0.01). Conclusion The state-owned enterprise worker's stressor scale meets psychometric criteria and is an effective tool. Key words: Stressor; Mental health; State-owned enterprise worker; Psychometrics
