Abstract
Until now, no general scales have been available for measuring victim or society blaming. This constraint has been an impediment to policymaking with regard to those who are affected by social problems. Four scales were constructed: stable victim‐blaming scale, unstable victim‐blaming scale, stable society‐blaming scale, and unstable society‐blaming scale. Based on the results of the preliminary exploratory factor analysis and the reliability coefficients, the unstable society‐blaming scale was deleted from further analysis. Then, a confirmatory factor analysis using the LISREL 7 program was conducted to evaluate the parameter estimates of the scale items and examine the construct validity of the 3 scales. The scales were judged to have construct validity with satisfactory reliability.
