Variable measurements and index results.

Psychological capital serves as a psychological asset facilitating personal growth and enhanced performance. It aids individuals in navigating life’s myriad challenges and adversities, promoting psychological well-being and adaptability. Despite the widely recognized importance of psychological capital in enhancing competitiveness and work performance, existing assessment tools, such as the PCQ-24 developed by Luthans et al. (2007), have not been adequately validated in the Chinese university student population. To explore the factor structure of the Psychological Capital Questionnaire (PCQ-24) developed by Luthans et al., the researchers employed Principal Component Analysis (PCA) and Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), extracting factors with eigenvalues greater than 1. The results revealed a six-factor structure, which is inconsistent with the original four-factor structure of the PCQ-24 measurement tool. Therefore, Luthans’ psychological capital scale is not suitable for university students. Additionally, the indigenous scale developed by Chinese researchers Ke Jianglin et al (2009) is more suitable for organizational employees rather than university students. Hence, it is essential to revise and validate a psychological capital measurement tool appropriate for Chinese university students. To fill this gap, the researchers aimed to revise and validate a psychological capital scale suitable for Chinese university students based on the four structural dimensions proposed by Luthans et al. In this study, a large-scale survey of Chinese university students (N = 2780) was conducted, and SPSS 26.0 and AMOS 24.0 were used to statistically analyze the data and assess the psychometric properties of the Revised Mental Capital Scale. The results indicate that the revised psychological capital scale meets the psychometric requirements. The study concluded that the psychological capital scale revised and validated by the researcher can be used as an instrument to measure and assess the psychological capital of university students.心理资本（Psychological Capital）是一种助力个体成长与绩效提升的心理资产，能够帮助个体应对生活中的各类挑战与逆境，促进心理健康与适应性发展。尽管学界已普遍认可心理资本对提升竞争力与工作绩效的重要价值，但现有评估工具——如卢森斯等人（Luthans et al.，2007）开发的PCQ-24量表——尚未在中国大学生群体中得到充分验证。为探究卢森斯等人开发的心理资本问卷（PCQ-24）的因素结构，研究者采用主成分分析（Principal Component Analysis, PCA）与探索性因素分析（Exploratory Factor Analysis, EFA），提取特征值大于1的因素。结果显示该量表存在六因素结构，与PCQ-24最初的四因素测量结构不符，因此卢森斯的心理资本量表并不适用于中国大学生群体。此外，中国学者柯江林等人（Ke Jianglin et al.，2009）开发的本土化量表更适用于组织员工，而非大学生群体。因此，开发并验证一款适用于中国大学生的心理资本测评工具实属必要。为填补这一研究空白，研究者以卢森斯等人提出的四维度结构为基础，修订并验证适用于中国大学生的心理资本量表。本研究针对中国大学生开展了大规模问卷调查（N = 2780），并采用SPSS 26.0与AMOS 24.0对数据进行统计分析，同时评估修订版心理资本量表的心理测量学属性。结果表明，修订后的心理资本量表符合心理测量学要求。本研究最终得出结论：经研究者修订并验证的心理资本量表可作为测评中国大学生心理资本的有效工具。
