Background: Citizenship behaviors are crucial in fostering social progress. This study examined the psychometric properties of the Chinese version of the Citizenship Behavior Questionnaire-30-General Version (CBQ-30-GV) among Taiwanese university students. It also examined the association of citizenship behaviors with depression and perceived stress. Methods: A total of 1000 university students participated in an online survey. To evaluate the factor structure of the CBQ-30-GV, five competing models were examined using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Furthermore, internal consistency was assessed, and concurrent validity was examined by analyzing the correlations between CBQ-30-GV scores and subjective well-being, as measured using the Positive Emotion, Engagement, Relationships, Meaning, and Accomplishment Well-being (PERMA)-Profiler. Moreover, the correlations of citizenship behaviors with depression (measured using the Center for Epidemiological Studies Depression Scale) and perceived stress (measured using the Perceived Stress Scale) were investigated using Pearson correlations. Results: The findings supported a bifactor structure for the CBQ-30-GV, comprising seven specific factors and a general factor, with satisfactory model fit. The CBQ-30-GV demonstrated adequate internal consistency, and all seven specific and general factor scores were significantly and positively correlated with PERMA-Profiler scores (r = 0.080 to 0.490; p < 0.001). The general factor and the majority of specific factor scores of the CBQ-30-GV were significantly and negatively associated with depression (r = –0.426 to –0.135; p < 0.001) and perceived stress (r = –0.346 to –0.165; p < 0.001), whereas the factor scores for political activity and activity for change exhibited either positive or nonsignificant associations with depression and perceived stress. Conclusions: These findings confirm the bifactor structure of the CBQ-30-GV and its acceptable internal reliability and concurrent validity. They indicate that most of the CBQ-30-GV specific factor scores negatively correlated with depression and perceived stress.

Antecedentes: Las conductas ciudadanas desempeñan un papel crucial en el fomento del progreso social. Este estudio examinó las propiedades psicométricas de la versión china del Cuestionario de Conductas Ciudadanas-30-Versión General (CBQ-30-GV) entre estudiantes universitarios taiwaneses. También examinó las asociaciones entre las conductas ciudadanas, la depresión y el estrés percibido. Métodos: Un total de 1000 estudiantes universitarios participaron en una encuesta en línea. Se evaluó la estructura factorial del CBQ-30-GV mediante un análisis factorial confirmatorio comparando cinco modelos en competencia. Además, se evaluó la consistencia interna y se examinó la validez concurrente analizando las correlaciones entre las puntuaciones del CBQ-30-GV y el bienestar subjetivo, medido mediante el (PERMA)-Profiler. Además, se utilizaron correlaciones de Pearson para examinar las relaciones entre las conductas ciudadanas, la depresión (medida con la Escala de Depresión del Centro de Estudios Epidemiológicos) y el estrés percibido (medido con la Escala de Estrés Percibido). Resultados: Nuestros hallazgos apoyaron una estructura bifactorial para el CBQ-30-GV, consistente en siete factores específicos y un factor general, con un ajuste satisfactorio del modelo. El CBQ-30-GV demostró una consistencia interna adecuada, y los siete factores específicos, así como el factor general, se correlacionaron significativa y positivamente con las puntuaciones del PERMA-Profiler (r = 0,080 a 0,490; p < 0,001). El factor general y la mayoría de las puntuaciones de los factores específicos del CBQ-30-GV se asociaron significativa y negativamente con la depresión (r = –0,426 a –0,135; p < 0,001) y el estrés percibido (r = –0,346 a –0,165; p < 0,001), mientras que las puntuaciones de los factores de actividad política y actividad para el cambio mostraron asociaciones positivas o no significativas con la depresión y el estrés percibido. Conclusiones: Estos resultados confirman la estructura bifactorial del CBQ-30-GV y demuestran su satisfactoria fiabilidad interna y validez concurrente. Por último, los resultados indican que la mayoría de las puntuaciones factoriales específicas del CBQ-30-GV se correlacionaron negativamente con la depresión y el estrés percibido.
