Abstract

This study developed a scale to measure college students' perceived stress levels for adverse life events that may occur in their daily lives and confirmed its validity and reliability. The scale was developed in accordance with DeVellis' scale development guidelines. Data were collected from 1,242 students of a local university in 2020. The collected samples were randomly separated into two groups (A, B). Group A (N=620) was tested for an initial examination of the performance, exploratory factor analysis, multitrait-multimethod matrix, criterion-related validity, and reliability of each item; and verified with group B (N=622) for confirmatory factor analysis and reliability re-test. As a result, the final scale of 33 items and eight factors were developed. The KMO values were 0.92, and Bartlett's spherical test was significant (χ2=12532.42, p<.001); the number of factors with initial eigenvalues of 1.0 or higher was eight; the cumulative factor loadings of 71.5% and the commonality of each item was 0.56 or higher. The reliability of the scale was Cronbach's alpha 0.94; sub-factors' Cronbach's alpha was 0.78 to 0.90. Therefore, these findings suggest that the scale developed in this study would be useful for measuring the stress levels of daily life for college students.

본 연구의 목적은 대학생의 일상에서 발생할 수 있는 부정적 생활사건에 대해 개인의 인지된 스트레스 수준을 측정하는 도구를 개발하고, 타당도와 신뢰도를 검증하는 것이다. 도구 개발과정은 DeVellis의 도구 개발 단계와 지침에 따라 수행하였다. 도구의 타당도와 신뢰도 검증을 위해, 2020년 일 대학 재학생 1,242명에게 수집된 자료를 무작위로 2개(A, B) 그룹으로 나누어 분석하였다. A그룹의 표본 (N=620)으로 문항검사, 탐색적 요인분석, 다특성-다방법 행렬, 준거 타당도, 신뢰도를 검증한 후 B그룹의 표본(N=622)으로 확인적 요인분석과 신뢰도 재검증을 수행하였다. 그 결과, 33문항, 8개 하위요인의 최종 도구가 개발되었다. 최종 도구의 탐색적 요인분석 결과, KMO 값은 0.92, Bartlett의 구형성 검정 결과는 유의하였고(χ2=12532.42, p<.001), 초기 고유값 1.0 이상인 요인수는 8개, 누적 요인적재량은 71.5%, 각 문항의 공통성은 0.56 이상이었다. 신뢰도 검증에서도 도구 전체의 신뢰도는 Cronbach's alpha 0.94, 요인별로는 0.78~0.90이었다. 확인적 요인분석과 신뢰도 재검증에서도 유사한 결과가 도출되었다. 그러므로 본 연구에서 개발한 도구를 대학생의 일상 스트레스 수준 측정에 유용하게 사용할 것을 제안한다.
