Abstract

This study aimed to revise and validate a Chinese Version of the Acquired Capability for Suicide Scale (ACSS-CV). In study 1 of 395 Chinese college students, a two-factor model comprising fearlessness about death and pain tolerance achieved satisfactory model fit. In study 2 of 491 different students, the ACSS-CV had good internal consistency, test-retest reliability, convergent validity, and discriminant validity. The ACSS-CV may be considered a useful instrument for measuring the acquired capability for suicide in Chinese college students.
