The ability to solve modern complex systems becomes a necessity of the 21st century. The purpose of this study is the development of an instrument that measures an individual’s perception toward solving complex problems. Based on literature and definitions, an instrument with four stages named perceived complex problem-solving (PCPS) was designed through exploratory and confirmatory stages. The instrument is validated and scaled through different models, and the final model is discussed. After completing validation and scale development of the PCPS instrument, the final model of the PCPS instrument was introduced to resolve the gap in the literature. The final model of the PCPS instrument is able to find and quantify the degree of perception an individual holds in dealing with complex problems and can be utilized in different settings and environments. Further research about the relationship between Systems Thinking and CPS revealed individuals with a high level of systems thinking have a better understanding of the characteristics of complex problems and so better perception of CPS.

复杂系统领域感知复杂问题求解工具的研制

解决现代复杂系统的能力成为 21 世纪的必需品。本研究的目的是开发一种测量个人对解决复杂问题的看法的工具。基于文献和定义，通过探索和确认阶段设计了一个具有四个阶段的工具，称为感知复杂问题解决（PCPS）。该仪器通过不同的模型进行了验证和扩展，并讨论了最终模型。在完成 PCPS 仪器的验证和规模开发后，引入了 PCPS 仪器的最终模型以解决文献中的空白。PCPS 仪器的最终模型能够找到并量化个人在处理复杂问题时的感知程度，并可用于不同的设置和环境。对系统思维与CPS关系的进一步研究表明，系统思维水平高的人对复杂问题的特征有更好的理解，从而对CPS有更好的感知。
