嵌入性是一种在学生坚持、保留和成功研究中具有潜在解释力的概念。本研究的目的是满足小型大学本科生环境中使用的简短嵌入性测量的需求。制定了三种嵌入性衡量标准：最初的 43 项量表、缩减后的 35 项量表以及最终的简短 12 项量表版本。该研究共纳入了一所小型私立文理学院的 450 名本科生。使用麦当劳欧米茄和克朗巴赫阿尔法评估内部一致性信度，观察一年内的重测信度，在项目分析中使用因素分析，通过验证性因素分析检查结构效度，并通过收敛和判别效度相关性评估标准相关效度。结果提供了可接受的可靠性和有效性的初步估计。
Embeddedness is a construct with potential explanatory power in studies of student persistence, retention, and success. The goal of this study was to address a need for a brief embeddedness measure for use in small college undergraduate environments. Three measures of embeddedness were developed: an initial 43-item scale, a reduced 35-item scale, and a final brief 12-item version of the scale. A total of 450 undergraduate students at a small private liberal arts college were included in the study. Internal consistency reliability was assessed with both McDonald's omega and Cronbach's alpha, test–retest reliability was observed over a one-year period, factor analysis was used in item analysis, structural validity was examined with confirmatory factor analysis, and criterion-related validity was assessed with convergent and discriminant validity correlations. The results provide acceptable initial estimates of reliability and validity.
