亲社会性是行为学研究中的一个重要问题。在这项调查中，我们开发了一种亲社会行为意图的测量方法。从两个调查（n = 465）和现有的措施项目的定性反应被用来生成一个列表中的亲社会行为，人们可能打算从事。我们因素分析这些项目（n = 319）的反应，并保留了最常见和最具代表性的项目。新的测量方法表现出足够的内部一致性（n = 247，147; α = 0.81，0.83）;与过去的亲社会行为（r = 0.51，0.43），道德认同（r = 0.50，0.55）和唯物主义（r =-0.30，-0.20）的收敛效度。该工具还预测亲社会行为，同时控制亲社会意图的先前测量，Exp（B）= 1.99，Wald = 10.59，p = 0.001，从而证明增量预测有效性。这个4项量表可以跨上下文使用，以推进亲社会性的研究。
Prosociality is a critical issue in behavioral research. In this investigation, we developed a measure of prosocial behavioral intentions. Qualitative responses from two surveys (n = 465) and items from existing measures were used to generate a list of prosocial behaviors in which people might intend to engage. We factor analyzed responses to these items (n = 319) and retained the most common and representative items. The new measure demonstrated adequate internal consistency (n = 247, 147; alpha = .81, .83); convergent validity with past prosocial behavior (r = .51, .43), moral identity (r = .50, .55), and materialism (r = -.30, -.20). The instrument also predicted prosocial behavior while controlling for a prior measure of prosocial intentions, Exp(B) = 1.99, Wald = 10.59, p = .001, thereby demonstrating incremental predictive validity. This 4-item scale could be used across contexts to advance the study of prosociality.
