本研究旨在發展一套適用於台灣青少年的幽默測量工具，並檢驗其信度及效度。利用「台灣地區國中生有關幽默之概念及型態：幽默對個人健康的影響研究」，於2007 年蒐集之全國性資料進行分析。研究樣本係選自台灣的北、中、南、東四個地區；各地區隨機抽取5 所國民中學；被抽中之國中的一至三年級各隨機抽出一個班級；被抽中之班級的全體學生均接受問卷調查。以團體施測及學生自填問卷的方式蒐集資料，共有1,639 人完成調查。針對量表的信度，採用內部一致
性係數評估；針對量表的效度，則以專家效度、探索性因素分析、驗證性因素分析，以及區辨效度等四種方法評估。結果發現，各個向度之量表的內部一致性係數介於.75～.93，顯示信度良好。探索性因素分析結果顯示，各個向度之量表的因素結構與初擬時所預設之因素結構類似。進一步綜合信度、專家效度及探索性因素分析的結果，經驗證性因素分析發現，所有量表均通過適合度檢定，尤其是GFI 與AGFI 值均達.94 以上，並具區辨效度，顯示效度良好。本研究發展之幽默測量工具，以全國樣本進行分析證實具有良好的信度與效度，可作為評估台灣青少年之幽默感、幽默表現和接收經驗的測量工具。

The purpose of this study was to develop humor instruments for use in Taiwan adolescents.We analyzed nationally representative data from the Humor project (The concept and style of humor among junior high school students in Taiwan: A study on the effect of humor on personal health) in 2007. The study sample was selected from northern, central,southern and eastern Taiwan. Five public schools were randomly selected from each of the four regions and one class was randomly selected from each of the three grades in each school. All students in the selected classes were given the questionnaire and filled them out as a class group. A total of 1,639 students completed the questionnaire. The reliability of the scale was assessed by the internal consistency coefficient. The validity of the scale was assessed by the experts, exploratory factor analysis,
confirmatory factor analysis, and discriminant validity. The internal consistency coefficients for each dimension of the scale ranged from .75 to .93 which indicates good reliability. Exploratory factor analysis showed that the factor structure of each dimension of the scale was similar to the factor structure developed in our preliminary draft. Results of confirmatory factor analysis showed that all dimensions of the scale fitted the data well. Particularly, the value of GFI and AGFI were
greater than .94 indicated good validity. We developed a multidimensional humor scales and confirmed that they had good reliability and validity in a nationally representative sample. These scales can be used to measure the sense of humor, the experience of humor expression, and the experience of receiving humor messages in Taiwanese adolescents.
