Attitudes toward standardized progress measures: Development of a revised measure in China and cross-cultural validation in the United States

OBJECTIVE: This study investigated whether the revised factor structure of the Attitudes Towards Standardized Assessment Scales: Monitoring and Feedback (ASA-MF) could be used within Chinese professionals and to examine cross-cultural equivalence of the measure across samples in the United States and China. METHOD: = 455). Study 3 tested ASA-MFR's cross-national invariance using both multi-group confirmatory factor analysis (MG-CFA) and the alignment method. RESULTS: factor, allowing for meaningful mean-level comparisons. Chinese professionals reported significantly greater perceived benefits of standardized progress measures than their U.S. counterparts. CONCLUSIONS: Re-scoring the original ASA-MF using the factor structure from the ASA-MFR may be a psychometrically robust method for comparing clinician attitudes toward standardized progress measures across both the United States and China.
