TY - JOUR PY - 2021// TI - Validation of a Chinese version of the Tolerance for Mental Pain Scale-10 with Chinese college students JO - Social behavior and personality A1 - Cui, N. A1 - Bao, Y.

Participants were 840 college students in Jilin, China. The TMPS-10 consists of two dimensions: managing the pain and enduring the pain. In our study Cronbach's alphas were.80 and.83, respectively, and test-retest reliability coefficients were.78 and.72, respectively, for these two dimensions. Exploratory factor analysis results demonstrate that the two dimensions accounted for 61.58% of the total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis results show that the two-factor model fit the sample data well. As the Chinese version of the TMPS-10 meets the requirements for a psychometric tool, it can be used to evaluate Chinese college students' tolerance of psychological pain. © 2021 Scientific Journal Publishers Limited.
