本研究重新整編楊中芳與趙志裕（1997）的「中庸實踐思維量表」，並針對該量表在研究概念的過度複雜化、與社會讚許的關聯、迫選形式的疑慮，以及缺乏信效度等關鍵問題提供具體的改進與檢證。經因素分析刪題，且將兩類題組適當地合併成為迫選的評量形式之後，則成為一個具有穩定信效度的量表。本研究將新編九題之量表命名為「中庸信念－價值量表」。本研究結果顯示，此量表具有穩定的因素結構，可接受的內部一致性與再測信度，較不受社會讚許的影響，並且能夠穩定的預測華人身心適應程度。

This study revised Yang and Chiu’s (1997) ZhongYong PracticeCognition Scale (ZYPC). We intended to resolve the ZYPC’s issues,such as overly complex components, confounding of social desirability,suitability of the forced-choice format, and lack of reliability andvalidity. When these two sets of items were paired, the forced-choiceformat provided acceptable reliability and validity. The new 9-itemscale was renamed the ZhongYong Belief-Value Scale. This new scalehas a reliable factor structure, acceptable internal consistency, and goodtest-retest reliability. It is less affected by social desirability andpredicts psychological adjustment.
