Description

The Japanese Adolescent Appreciatin Inventory (J-AAI;Iwasaki & Igarashi, 2014a) was designed to assess Japanese adolescent appreciation comprehensively. This study examined the factorial validity by comfirmatory factor analysis and 4-week test-retest reliability of the scale for improvement of measurement accuracy. Data were collected from 639 university undergraduate, graduate and vocational college students (254 males, 385 females) with questionnaires and retest conducted on 105 participants (40 males, 65 females) after 4 weeks. The results indicated that this scale has acceptable factorial validity and reliability (α=.62-.88, r=.45-.83), and that this scale can be used as a tool for understanding Japanese adolescent appreciation. Suggestions for the future study were necessity to examine the influence of social desirability bias to this scale and to construct shortened version of this scale.
