Abstract:

In order to measure individual risk attitude of and reduce unsafe behavior, the Chinese version of the risk attitude scale was revised to discuss the structure of the scale in Chinese culture. A total of 250 risk attitude questionnaires were distributed and 220 valid questionnaires were collected. The reliability and validity of the questionnaires were analyzed by SPSS software. The results show that the revised risk attitude scale consist of four factors: attitude towards risk acceptance, attitude towards approaching risk acceptance, attitude towards risk avoidance and attitude towards risk rejection. with a total of 32 items, and the cumulative contribution rate is 75.43%. The Cronbach's α coefficient of the scale is 0.796, with good reliability. The chi-square degree of freedom ratio (CMIN/DF) of the scale is 1.832, the increment fitting index (IFI) is 0.905, the comparative fit index (CFI) is 0.904, the root of mean square residual (RMR) is 0.038, and the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) is 0.049, indicating that the scale has good structural validity. Through unstructured interviews with experts and related scholars, some items are modified and deleted, and the content validity of the scale is good.
