The present study assesses the factor structure of the Claremont Purpose Scale (CPS)-Indonesian version among youth, the measurement invariance of the Indonesian CPS across gender, and its concurrent validity with wellbeing scales. Though several studies have investigated purpose in life among Indonesian adolescents, few have tested the psychometric properties of the scale. CPS is unique in that it measures purpose as a multidimensional construct, comprising personal meaningfulness, goal directedness, and beyond-the-self orientation. This study tested the Indonesian CPS’s measurement invariance between male (N = 245) and female (N = 288) adolescents. The Indonesian CPS, a hierarchical model based on the original version, provided an adequate fit to the data. Using multi-group confirmatory factor analysis, full strict invariance could be established. There were no significant differences across gender for purpose or its subscales. Internal consistency of the total score was satisfactory for purpose and its subscales scores. The results showed evidence of concurrent validity with life satisfaction and perceived meaningfulness.

本研究评估了克莱蒙特目的量表 (CPS)-印度尼西亚语版本在青年中的因子结构、印度尼西亚 CPS 跨性别的测量不变性，以及它与幸福量表的同时有效性。尽管有几项研究调查了印度尼西亚青少年的生活目的，但很少有人测试过该量表的心理测量特性。CPS 的独特之处在于它将目的作为一个多维结构来衡量，包括个人意义、目标导向和超越自我导向。本研究测试了印度尼西亚 CPS 在男性 ( N = 245) 和女性 ( N = 288) 青少年。印度尼西亚 CPS 是一种基于原始版本的分层模型，它提供了与数据的充分拟合。使用多组验证性因素分析，可以建立完全严格的不变性。出于目的或其子量表的性别之间没有显着差异。总分的内部一致性对于目的及其分量表得分来说是令人满意的。结果显示了与生活满意度和感知意义同时有效的证据。
