Another 110 cases were surveyed to do confirmatory factor analysis and reliability analysis. Results Except for the fifth item, the remaining 32 items and the correlation coefficient of total scale were higher (r=0.307-0.659). Two factors were extracted from exploratory factors analysis, accounting for a cumulative variance contribution rate of 60.82%. The results of confirmatory factor analysis were χ2/df=2.21, RMSEA=0.058, NFI=0.910, GFI=0.900, CFI=0.920.
