Abstract
- Purpose in life is critical to positive development among youth, especially those purposes that focus on an aspect of the world beyond the self. However, existing instruments have not adequately assessed beyond-the-self purpose. The Claremont Purpose Scale addresses the purpose construct, measuring the goal orientation, personal meaningfulness, and beyond-the-self focus among youth in the United States. We developed a version of the scale for use in the Chinese context among youth. In our two-part study, Study 1 developed the preliminary scale, and Study 2 evaluated its validity and reliability. The results indicated this scale is valuable for the assessment of the purpose of Chinese youth, has theoretical and practical implications for the measurement of beyond-the-self purpose, and can contribute to Chinese youth purpose research and future cross-cultural studies.
