Reliability and Validity of the Korean Adult Version of A Multidimensional Measure of Prosocial Behavior

Purpose : This study aimed to evaluate the reliability and validity of the Korean Adult Version of A Multidimensional Measure of Prosocial Behavior. Methods : The English version of A Multidimensional Measure of Prosocial Behavior was translated into Korean, and its content validity was evaluated. Construct validity was examined using primary data from an online survey of 138 adults residing in Korea, followed by exploratory factor analysis. Secondary data were collected from 166 adults for confirmatory factor analysis. Criterion validity was evaluated by examining the correlation with the Prosocial Behavior Scale. Reliability was evaluated using Cronbach’s α. Results : The item-level content validity index for all items in the Korean Adult Version of A Multidimensional Measure of Prosocial Behavior was 0.8 or higher. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a four-factor structure comprising 12 items: sharing, defending, physical helping, and emotional helping. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated acceptable model fitness. Criterion validity was demonstrated by a correlation coefficient of 0.71 (p＜.001). The overall reliability of the 12 items was Cronbach’s α＝.86, while the reliability of the subfactors ranged from Cronbach’s α＝.66 to .78. Conclusion : the Korean Adult Version of A Multidimensional Measure of Prosocial Behavior appears to be a reliable and valid instrument for assessing prosocial behaviors among Korean adults, including nurses.
