ABSTRACT

This study aimed to compare the psychometric properties of two revised Chinese versions of the RSES (RSES-F and RSES-T) for high-school students using the Rasch model. The 11-item RSES which consisted of two revised items of the original Item 8 and nine items in original version and the RSES-T were administrated to 1,500 high-school students. The rating scale model was used to investigate psychometric properties of the two scales, including unidimensionality and measurement precision. When the word “wish” was revised to “do not think” (RSES-T) and “do not feel” (RSES-F), the infit and outfit MNSQ indexes of the former were closer to the ideal value of one. Comparing to RSES-F, RSES-T had better indexes of measurement precision. It was found that both RSES-F and RSES-T fitted the Rasch model for high-school students. Each index of the RSES-T was superior to that of the RSES-F, and the word “wish” was better revised to “do not think”.
