- This study examines the reliability and validity of a measure of 'social orientation' indigenously developed from Chinese students of social work in Hong Kong. By administering two tests with Chinese social work students (n = 293 and n = 304) at associate degree level, the measure achieves strong internal consistency with r>0.75 and test–retest consistency with r>0.63. The instrument also has strong validity by attempting factor analysis of items generated from qualitative data in in-depth interviews. The development of this indigenous measure of 'social orientation' will contribute to an understanding of the authoritarian, relationship and 'other' orientation of Chinese social work students. The authors propose that this will be a crucial factor in influencing the response of Chinese students towards different teaching and learning approaches in social work education.[Copyright of Social Work Education is the property of Routledge.
