A revised scale about Chinese college students' historical cognition of the Anti-Japanese War

The problem of “Jingri (Chinese mad about Japanese Militarism psychologically)” among a few students reflects the lack of awareness of the history around the Anti-Japanese War, the absence of the history education about the War and the prominent historical identity crisis of the War. Through literature research, group discussion and expert interviews, a questionnaire on the historical cognition status of the War among vocational college students is preliminarily compiled. Through EFA, three factors are extracted, including 20 items, with a cumulative variance contribution rate of 67.069%. Under , the fitting indexes are up to the standard, and the load of each factor is greater than 0.7. The Cronbach Alpha coefficient about three dimensions is 0.928, 0.906 and 0.908, and the Combined Reliability is 0.929, 0.907 and 0.909 respectively. The correlation coefficients of each dimension, dimension and the scale meet the requirements. The AVE is more than 0.5, which is greater than the correlation coefficients. Therefore, the scale has high reliability and validity. It has guiding significance for vocational colleges to carry out a survey of the status quo of students' historical cognition about the War and take targeted historical education of it.
