Reconfirmation of the Adonis Complex Assessment Tool: Analysis of Validity and Reliability of the Chinese Version
猛男情結評估工具再確認：中文版效度及信度的分析
摘要
The Adonis Complex Questionnaire (ACQ) is an assessment tool that was developed more than 20 years ago in a Western context. In view of different perceptions of muscularity that men in Eastern countries may hold, it is necessary to reexamine the factor structures, validity and reliability of a Chinese version. This three-phase study aims to develop and reconfirm the valid and reliable Chinese version of the ACQ. The participants of the present study were 90, 112, and 224 for the three-phase, respectively. The first phase employed exploratory factor analysis to examine the factor structure of the Chinese ACQ. The second phase utilized confirmatory factor analysis to confirm its convergent validity, discriminant validity, composite reliability (CR), average variance extracted (AVE) and criterion-related validity; while the third phase attempted to test the measurement invariance. Results are as follows: in the first phase, the Chinese version of the ACQ was a three-factors structure with explained 59.73% of the total variance, and Cronbach's α was .83. In the second phase, the Chinese ACQ was found to have acceptable convergent validity, discriminant validity, CR, AVE, and criterion-related validity. The results of the third phase supported full measurement invariance. We conclude that the Chinese version of the ACQ is valid and reliable, and the measurement invariance in the cross-group is stable. It is suitable for evaluating Eastern men's psychological state (such as muscle dysmorphia), related behaviors (such as eating disorders, exercise dependence) and Adonis complex.

猛男情結問卷（Adonis Complex Questionnaire, ACQ）已經發展了20多年。鑑於東西方文化對肌肉發達的不同認知，有必要重新審視中文版的因素結構、效度及信度。本研究旨在確認ACQ的結構，並檢驗中文版本的效度及信度。研究共分三個階段，參與者皆為從事重量訓練的成年男性。第一階段參與者90位，主要目的是以探索性因素分析檢驗中文版ACQ的因素結構。第二階段參與者112位，以驗證性因素分析確認中文版ACQ的收斂效度、區別效度、組合信度、平均變異數抽取量及校標關聯效度。第三階段參與者共224位，主要目的在檢驗中文版ACQ在不同樣本的測量恆等性。結果顯示：第一個階段發現中文版ACQ縮減成三個因素結構，解釋變異量為59.73%，Cronbach's α為.83。第二階段發現中文版ACQ具有可接受的收斂效度、區別效度、組合信度、平均變異數抽取量及校標關聯效度。第三階段證實現中文版ACQ符合測量恆等性的檢定。本結論指出中文版ACQ具有可靠的效度及信度，以及跨群體測量恆等性，適合評估東方男性族群的心理狀態（例如肌肉上癮症）、相關行為（例如：飲食失調、運動依賴）和猛男情結。
