| description | Objective: The Communal Narcissism Inventory (CNI) was applied to college students to explore the factor structure of the scale under the background of Chinese culture, and to test its reliability and validity. Methods: 949 university students were measured with CNI scale. The prosocial behavior scale, self-esteem scale and Big Five personality scale were used to verify the reliability and validity of the Chinese version of CNI scale. Three weeks later, 90 college students were randomly selected for retesting. Results: The bifactor model is more suitable for university students than the single-factor model. Cronbach'α are 0.92, 0.91 and 0.86. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis show that the project load is between 0.52 and 0.84, the correlation coefficient is significant, and there is a good fitting index. Conclusion: The Chinese version of CNI has reasonable reliability and validity under the Chinese cultural background, and can be used for the evaluation and research of communal narcissism of domestic university students. |
