A Study on Structural Exploration and Measurement Tool Development of Core Self-Evaluation in College Students

Starting from the concept of core self-evaluation, this study identified four factors, namely self-esteem, self-efficacy, cognitive intelligence, and emotional intelligence, to construct a model of core self-evaluation for Chinese college students. Based on the four-factor structure of core self-evaluation in college students, this study developed an initial questionnaire consisting of 37 items. Through item analysis, factor analysis, and tests of reliability and validity, a final version of the questionnaire with 22 items was refined, demonstrating good reliability and validity.
