College students are at a critical period in the development of values and self-identity,and they are also receiving more and more convenient information from the Internet.As they fall in love and work,they encounter more gender-related events and issues in their lives,and they are more sensitive to the occurrence of gender inequalities.According to Multiracial Feminist Theory(MFT),individuals from different ethnic backgrounds are likely to have inconsistent attitudes toward feminism,and the meaning of feminism itself may vary depending on national culture and ethnic background.Based on liberal feminist theory,Study 1 explored the meaning of feminist attitudes of college students by using all genders as subjects in the whole study,and developed a feminist attitude questionnaire applicable to the college student group.The results of exploratory factor analysis showed that the feminist attitude scale consisted of a four-dimensional structure,namely,role difference,equality empowerment,disadvantageous status,and awareness of action.The reliability test of the formal questionnaire was conducted,and the results of the reported reliability coefficients were: the internal consistency reliability of the Feminist Attitudes Scale was 0.86,the reliability of each sub-dimension was greater than 0.7 or more,and the retest reliability and synthetic reliability reached acceptable standards.The structural validity of the scale was examined by reporting inter-dimensional correlation coefficients and validation factor outcome coefficients,and the inter-dimensional correlation coefficients met the criteria,and the four-factor model was corrected by the correction index,and the corrected results were: χ2/df = 2.55,RMSEA = 0.40,CFI = 0.962,TLI = 0.952,and SRMR = 0.041,all of which showed the questionnaire’s structural validity was good.Study 2 used a self-administered feminist attitude scale as a research instrument,female college students as research subjects,controlling for age and relationship status,feminist attitude,feminist identity,sense of control,and psychological well-being as a model with moderated mediation to examine the path of feminist attitude on psychological well-being,to explore the mechanisms of feminist identity and sense of control in psychological well-being,to explore the gender attitudes and female psychology to provide more theoretical references.The results showed that the relationship between feminist attitudes and psychological well-being was "masked" by feminist identity,and feminist attitudes had a significant negative predictive effect on psychological well-being.Sense of control moderated the relationship between feminist attitudes,feminist identity,and psychological well-being,with feminist attitudes being a significant negative predictor of psychological well-being when women had a low sense of control(β=-0.280,p<0.01)and a non-significant negative predictor of psychological well-being when women had a high sense of control(β=-0.033.p=0.443);the positive predictive effect of feminist identity on psychological well-being was significant and strong when women had a low sense of control(β=0.578,p<0.01),and the positive predictive effect of feminist identity on psychological well-being was significant but gradually weakened when women had a high sense of control(β=0.360,p<0.01).
