Abstract: Objective To revise the rural elderly resource generator scale and evaluate its reliability and validity. Methods Prepared by literature review, focus group discussions, experts' consultation and other procedures, the Chinese version of "resource generator" to measure individual social capital was finally formed. A total of 975 qualified elderly people living in 3 counties of Shandong Province were interviewed through random sampling method. The Mokken scale analysis and Pearson correlation analysis were used to test the reliability and validity of the scale. Results According to the Mokken scale's confirmatory test, each item of the domestic resources scale, expert advice scale, personal skills scale and problem solving resources scale generated by "resource generator" had a good acceptability and discriminability. The correlation coefficient of each subscale and total scale ranged from 0.58 to 0.74(P<0.01), and the correlation coefficients among subscales ranged from 0.22 to 0.34(P<0.01). Conclusion The revised rural elderly resource generator scale has good reliability and validity and will have a great application value to analyze the rural elderly's quality of life in the future.

Key words: Mokken scale, Social capital, Resource generator, Elderly
