According to the result analysis in Table 4.9 and 4.10, the KMO value is 0.946, significantly higher than the standard 0.70, Bartlett's sphericity test value is 11811.628, and the significance p value is 0.00, so it is suitable for factor analysis.
Using principal component analysis, factors with eigenvalues greater than 1 were extracted, and as a result, a total of 8 common factors were extracted, and the rotational cumulative sum of squares was 72.154%, which was greater than 60%.
After rotating by the orthogonal rotation method, 39 question options could be classified as 8-category factors each item had a loading higher than 0.5, indicating that the extracted 8 factors contained more comprehensive information and did not appear to have high dual factor loading, and each observed variable was aggregated into each dimension according to theoretical presuppositions. Synthesis of the above analyses illustrates that the scales selected in this paper have good construct validity.
The most commonly used Harman single factor method was used to conduct the common method deviation test on the data in this paper, that is to do the exploratory factor analysis with the full scale Title items together, using principal component analysis, to draw the components with eigenvalues greater than 1, the test results are shown in table, a total of eight common factors with eigenvalues greater than 1 were extracted, and the cumulative variance explained rate was 72.154%, and the explanatory amounts of individual factors are all lower than 40%, the absence of a common factor explains most of the variation amount, can illustrate that this study does not have a serious problem of common method bias, can be conducted empirical results analysis.
2) Confirmatory factor analysis
Confirmatory factor analysis is a type of statistical analysis of survey data that tests whether the relationship between a certain factor and the corresponding observed variables conforms to the researcher's prespecified theoretical relationship.
This study uses AMOS 21.0 to analyze the validation factor analysis (CFA) of this scale, and establishes a validation factor model based on the results of validation factor analysis. The suitability of the confirmatory factor model built in this paper was assessed by judging the structural equation fit metrics, which, if the criteria were met, would indicate that the model built in this paper can effectively measure the relevant latent variables. Fitting indexes such as 2 df, RMSEA, GFI, AGFI, NFI and CFI were selected to judge the degree of fit between the model and data. Specific criteria were: 2 df <3, RMSEA<0.08, GFI, AGFI, NFI and CFI values were higher than 0.8. Standardized factor loading values ranged from 0.5-0.95, with combined reliability (C.R) greater than 0.7. Meanwhile, the convergent validity of each dimension was judged by calculating the average variance extracted (AVE), for which the AVE value healed larger, for which the percentage of variation explained by the latent variable healed larger, and for which the relative measurement error healed smaller (Wu, 2010). The diagram of CFA model in this study is shown in Figure 4.1.

According to the data in Table 4.11, the standardized factor load of each item is greater than 0.5, indicating that each item can well explain its dimension.
Combinatorial Reliability (CR) is one of the criteria for judging the internal quality of the model, which reflects whether all the items in each latent variable consistently explain the latent variable. It can be seen from the above table that the combined reliability CR is greater than 0.7, indicating that all test items in each latent variable can consistently explain the latent variable.

It can be seen from Table 4.13 that by calculating the ave values of each dimension, they are 0.589, 0.539, 0.667, 0.690, 0.735, 0.692, 0.613 and 0.663 respectively, which are greater than 0.5. From table 4.13, it can be seen that by calculating the correlation matrix of each variable, the square root distribution of ave of each dimension is 0.767, 0.734, 0.816, 0.830, 0.857, 0.831, 0.782 and 0.814, which are greater than the correlation coefficient between each dimension. Therefore, it shows that the scale has good convergent validity and differential validity.
In summary, according to the results of data analysis, the constructive validity, convergence validity and discriminant validity of the scale are good, and the scale can be used as a research tool.
