Abstract: Atotal of 1306 subjects from six elementary schools were tested with Children Sense of Coherence Scale(CSOC) to evaluate its appropriateness for use in Chinese cultural background and exp lore the development status of SOC on the pupils.Psychometric analysis indicated that the Chinese version of CSOC had satisfactory item discriminationand test-retest reliability.Results of Exploratory Factor Analysis and Confirmatory Factor Analysis indicated that the scale consisted of two factors.C riterion-related validity was also examined by using the measure of loneliness as the criterion.The results of MANOVA showed significant grade and gender difference on SOC.Overall,the results suggested the Chinese version of CSOC provides a reliable and valid measure of children's Sense of Coherence in Chinese cultural context.

Key words: sense of coherence, reliability, validity, confirmatory factor analysis
