各种社区意识的测量方法已经被开发出来，但是在开发的量表中识别潜在因素来测量这一结构遇到了重大的心理测量问题，包括信度和效度。我们提出了一种新的测量方法，称为社区心理意识量表，它基于三个不同的生态领域，包括个人、微系统和宏观系统。我们使用探索性因素分析来调查我们的三个理论领域，包括自我（身份和对自我的重要性），成员（社会关系）和实体（群体的组织和目的）。三个理论推导因子均具有良好的测量模型拟合、内部信度和收敛效度。我们的研究还发现了乘法效应大于加性效应，这表明这三个领域中的每一个都是理解社区意识体验所必需的。在未来的研究中，这个量表可以适应各种各样的背景和情况。
A variety of sense of community measures have been developed, but the identification of latent factors in developed scales to measure this construct has encountered significant psychometric problems involving reliability and validity. We present a new measure called the Psychological Sense of Community Scale, which is based on three distinct ecological domains involving the individual, microsystem, and macrosystem. We used an exploratory factor analysis to investigate our three theoretical domains involving Self (identity and importance to self), Membership (social relationships), and Entity (a group's organization and purpose). Three theoretically derived factors emerged with good measurement model fit, internal reliabilities, and convergent validity. Our study also found multiplicative over additive effects, suggesting each of the three domains is necessary to understand the experience of sense of community. This scale can be adapted to a variety of contexts and situations in future research.
