A Validation Study of the Korean Version of the Adult Playfulness Trait Scale(K-APTS)
Abstract
There is a lack of playfulness scales for adult with evidence of validity and reliability in Korea. This study investigated the psychometric properties of the Korean version of the Adult Playfulness Trait Scale(K-APTS; Shen, Chick, & Zinn, 2014a), a new measurement of playfulness that assesses an individual’s disposition for uninhibitedness and spontaneous fun. A total of 540 college students participated in the survey. Confirmative factor analyses(CFA) and multiple-group CFA in M-plus 7.4, was used for the verification of construct validity, the Pearson correlation coefficients in SPSS 23.0 was used for the verification of criteria validity and Cronbach’s ɑ in SPSS 23.0 was used for the verification of reliability. The three-level construct of K-APTS was confirmed. The 19 items of K-APTS were explained by five clearly interpretable factors: fun belief, initiative, reactivity, fun belief, initiative, and reactivity. High-order factor analyses confirmed the underlying hierarchical model of K-APTS that comprises three additional sub-dimensions: fun-seeking motivation, uninhibitedness, and spontaneity, wherein fun-seeking motivation includes three sub-dimensions: fun belief, initiative, and reactivity. In third order model, one overarching construct supports the interpretation of a general “playfulness” factor underlying all subscales. Evidence of criteria validity was obtained from correlations of the K-APTS with the K-PSA. The three-level construct of K-APTS demonstrated good internal consistency. Greater playfulness in the K-APTS was associated positively with extraversion, openness to new experiences, agreeability, conscientiousness, it was negatively associated with neuroticism in K-BFI. The multi-group CFA was conducted to compare male and female samples. Given the configural invariance, the metric invariance and partial scalar invariance were held across multiple groups. The latent mean analysis examined whether the mean level of latent construct was invariant across groups. Females showed a statistically lower mean than males in the initiative(I) factor in the K-APTS.
