Then the items were selected by t test, coefficient, Cronbach's α and factor analysis. Finally, the reliability and validity of the revised MAS were analyzed. Results: Three items of MAS were deleted after item analysis and a new scale including 20 items were constructed. The Cronbach's α coefficient of the MAS was 0. 738 and the test-retest reliability was 0. 893. Confirmative factor analysis showed that the construction of the new scale fit the original construction of MAS, there were two factors: the general concepts regarding marriage, and the feelings regarding their own present or possibly future.
