Preliminary Revision of the Creative Responsibility Perception Scale among Chinese University Students

The Creative Responsibility Scale, developed by Morrison and Phelps, was adapted and revised to assess its applicability for measuring the level of creative Responsibility among Chinese university students. Measurements were conducted on 1,886 university students, and a subset of 182 students was retested after six months. The Conscientiousness subscale of the Big Five Inventory and the College Student Innovation Capability Survey were used as criteria. Both exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis supported a one-factor structural model. The internal consistency reliabilities of the three samples ranged from 0.911 to 0.924, with a retest reliability of 0.832 after six months. Correlation analysis results indicated a significant positive correlation between creative Responsibilityand conscientiousness as well as innovation capability. The results suggest that the revised Chinese version of the creative Responsibility Scale demonstrates good reliability and validity. It can be used as an assessment tool to measure the level of creative responsibilityamong Chinese university students.
