Development of a zhong-yong thinking style scale

This article consists of two studies. Ninety-six university students participated in the first study in which the zhong-yong thinking style (considering things carefully from different aspects and conducting appropriate behaviors to account for whole situation) is defined and items for measuring it were generated and subjected to item, reliability, and validity analyses. Reliability and validity of the scale were adequate. Using as sample of 232 university students, the second study further examined the psychometric properties of the scale and compared them with a previous zhong-yong scale developed by Chiu. The new scale had better psychometric properties than the old one.
