Validation of the Chinese Cultural Tightness-Looseness Scale and General Tightness-Looseness Scale.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This study aims to revise the Cultural Tightness-Looseness Scale (CTLS) and General Tightness-Looseness Scale (GTLS), and explore the group heterogeneity of tightness-looseness perception in Chinese populations.

Methods

Sample 1 (n = 2,388) was used for item analysis and exploratory factor analysis, and sample 2 (n = 2,385) was used for confirmatory factor analysis and latent profile analysis. Sample 3 (n = 512) was used for the reliability test and criterion validity test, among which 162 participants were used for the test-retest reliability examination after a four-week interval. Measurements included the CTLS, GTLS, International Personality Item Pool, Personal Need for Structure Scale, and Campbell Index of Well-Being.
