台灣高齡學習者「社會支持量表」編製之研究

本研究之主要目的在發展「高齡學習者社會支持量表」。本次研究共計發放940份問卷，回收926份，剔除無效問卷48份，有效問卷共計878份，回收率為93.4%，本研究在878份問卷中隨機抽取150份量表進行預試分析相關考驗，之後以728份進行驗證性因素分析。社會支持量表包含了「情感性支持」、「工具性支持」及「訊息性支持」等3構面。量表經項目分析、內容效度、因素分析及信度檢定，其結果顯示，各題項均具鑑別度，且各題項均能歸屬於該構面，信度部份，分量表信度係數介於.92～.93，總量表信度係數為.93，具有高度一致性。驗證性因素分析結果顯示本量表具有良好之適配，亦具有良好的聚斂效度與區辨效度。本研究之結果可提供後續研究者及實務工作者更為嚴謹之研究工具。

This study aims to develop a scale of the elder learners' social support. A total of 940 questionnaires were distributed. The total number of valid questionnaires was 878 after excluding 48 invalid questionnaires, and the recovery rate was 93.4%. In this study, 150 surveys were randomly selected from 868 questionnaires for the pilot study, and 878 surveys were used for confirmatory factor analysis. ＂The Scale of the Elder Learners' Social Support＂ includes affective support, tangible support, and informational support. After item analysis, content validity, factor analysis and reliability analysis, the results assured that each item has discrimination power, and belong to the structure of the scale. The reliability coefficient of the subscale is between .92 to .93, and the reliability coefficient of the overall scale was .93, which meant that this scale had strong internal consistency. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed that the scale has a good fit, as well as good convergence validity and discrimination validity. This scale, which was found to have good reliability and validity, will be a useful tool for future researchers and practitioners.
