Abstract

Objective To translate the Academic Entitlement Questionnaire(AEQ) into Chinese and to examine its reliability and validity in Chinese university students. Methods The English version of the Academic Entitlement Questionnaire was translated,back translated and modified for cultural adaptation. The Chinese version of Academic Entitlement Questionnaire was used to investigate 1102 college students in Guizhou province. Another 121 students were followed to complete the Chinese version of AEQ four weeks after the first investigation. Results The internal consistency reliability and retest reliability of the scale were 0.76 and 0.70,respectively(P<0.01). The results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that CFI,TLI,IFI,GFI,NFI,RMSEA and SRMR were 0.93,0.90,0.93,0.97,0.91,0.07 and 0.04 respectively. The factor loading of each item ranged from 0.43 to 0.69. Conclusion The Chinese version of the AEQ has good reliability and validity and can be used to measure the academic entitlement of Chinese college students.
