Self-support (Zili) is a personality trait rooted in the Chinese culture. Based on the results of open-ended interviews, two dimensions, field and function related to external behavior and internal psychology respectively, were examined in relation to school children’s self-supporting behaviors. A questionnaire was then constructed for assessing self-supporting behaviors of children aged between 6 and 12 years. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses showed that the factor structure of the questionnaire was clear. The questionnaire was found to be stable and internally consistent according to the reliability test.
