Aim:Develop Self Oblivion trait questionnaire, explore its structure and examine its reliability and validity. Method:Thematic keywords were extracted to form a preliminary questionnaire and an actual questionnaire through literature reviews of Taoism’s Self Oblivion literature and interview with relevant parties. Preliminary test was administered to 303 tertiary students and working adults, where questionnaire items were analyzed for their quality and structure of the questionnaire was examined. The actual test was administered on other 361 tertiary students and working adults, of which went through confirmatory factor analysis and criterion analysis. Results:Exploratory factor analysis showed that Oblivion of Self questionnaire is made up of 3 factors (15 items in total). Confirmatory factor analysis results support the trifactor structure, where fit indices were reasonable. Self Oblivion trait scores are negatively related to anxiety trait (-0.374), but positively related to peace of mind and mindful attention awareness (0.348 and 0.247 respectively). The overall questionnaire has an internal consistency coefficient of 0.849, and the three factors have an internal consistency coefficient of 0.828-0,904. Retest reliability of the overall questionnaire is 0.738, and the retest reliability of the three factors range between 0.694 and 0.785. Conclusion:The Self-Oblivion questionnaire developed in this study possess good reliability and validity, which can be used as an assessment instrument for further study and in practice. |
