Abstract

This study performed a cross-cultural validation of the Chinese version of the 10-item Social Provisions Scale (C-SPS-10) in Chinese populations. Study 1 examined the factor structure, internal reliability, discrimination, criterion validity, and network structure of C-SPS-10 by utilizing a sample of disaster victims in the 2021 Henan floods. Study 2 substantiated the findings of Study 1 in a general population sample. Measurement invariances between populations and between sexes in terms of the C-SPS-10 were also tested using the network approach. Study 3 used three samples to examine the test-retest reliability of the C-SPS-10 over three different time periods. The general results showed that the C-SPS-10 has excellent factor structure, internal reliability, discrimination, and criterion validity. The C-SPS-10 was confirmed to have good psychometric properties. Although the full scale functions well, problems may exist at a domain level. Moreover, the full scale of the C-SPS-10 was varied as a useful tool to capture trait-like characteristics of individuals’ perceptions of social support for the general population.

Note: In their research paper, Blumenthal et al. (1987) cited the unpublished version of the research that designed and validated MSPSS, conducted by Zimet et al. (1988), the name of which at that time was the Perceived Social Support Scale. Later, the paper written by Blumenthal et al. (1987) was cited by Huang et al. (1996), who translated and validated this instrument in China using the name of the Perceived Social Support Scale (PSSS). Therefore, in the Chinese context, researchers who cite Huang et al. (1996)‘s work refer to this instrument as PSSS (Huang et al., 2019; Liu & Aungsuroch, 2019; Wang et al., 2020). It is worth noting here that the MSPSS and the PSSS are, in essence, the same instrument.
