Abstract：The purpose of this study was to translate the Nordin and Cumming's (2006) Dance Imagery Questionnaire (DIQ) into Chinese, and to examine its validity and reliability in order to provide a valid and reliable measure for future studies. In this study total 642 university students from department of dance were enrolled, and their responses to the Chinese version of DIQ were recorded in three stages of the study. Statistical analyses, including item analysis, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), Cronbach's alpha coefficients, simultaneous multi-group covariance analyses and test-retest reliability were performed. The statistical results showed that the proposed model was found to be good overall fit as indicated by the data. We conclude that the Chinese version of DIQ revealed appropriate reliability and validity. Our findings suggest the Chinese version of DIQ has practical value, and could be used in future studies to assess the dance imagery ability. (Full text)
