Abstract

ABSTRACT To revise the Chinese version of the Utrecht-Management of Identity Commitments Scale (U-MICS) and to investigate the reliability, validity, and practicability of the scale in Chinese cultural background and Mongolian and Han ethnic cultures, a questionnaire survey was conducted among 434 college students (189 Mongolian and 245 Han) through statistical methods, such as project analysis, exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, and model comparison. After deleting items 5 and 6, the Chinese version of U-MICS had good structural validity and there was equivalence between Mongolian and Han subculture groups, including three subscales: commitment, in-depth exploration and reconsideration of commitment. The scale has good internal consistency reliability (0.704–0.883) and test–retest reliability (0.541–0.677). Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model fits well. The revised U-MICS has good reliability and validity in Mongolian and Han subjects, and it is an effective measurement tool.
