Abstract
ABSTRACT The study aims to examine the cross-cultural applicability and psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Relationship Meaning in Life (RMIL) scale By collecting data from 3583 high school students in economically disparate urban and rural areas in China, we seek to explore whether this measure demonstrates cross-cultural validity and reliability and investigate its unique explanatory power in addition to meaning in life (MIL). Our results support the two-factor structure of RMIL and its measurement invariance in gender and area. The correlation pattern and mediation model support the RMIL, which is not redundant to the variable meaning in life. The IRT and factor analysis results indicated some future concerns about specific item problems. Cultural and areas differences have been discussed.
