Abstract:

Based on data from the 2023 Survey on Social and Emotional Skills (SSES) in Jinan, China, this technical report analyzes the psychometric characteristics of the second round of assessment tools under Chinese culture. The report presents a brief introduction of the development and implementation process of the student questionnaire, the subscales of the social and emotional skills, the main components of the questionnaire, the main content of the data set, and the analysis of data quality. The results showed that the students in Jinan had a positive attitude towards the Survey, with high participation rate and valid response rate. However, the frequency distributions of younger cohort showed a tall right tail. The coefficients ω’s and α’s represented that most of the subscales had good reliability. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed the validity (fitness) of each subscale of social and emotional skills were satisfactory. Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis showed that the cross-gender measure invariance of these subscales was better than that of cross-cohorts, so the data of these subscales should be used with caution when examining the age-differences among adolescence.

Key words: adolescence, social and emotional skills, reliability, confirmatory factor analysis, measurement invariance
