Responses were anchored on a 5-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (strongly disagree) to 5 (strongly agree).
Factor 1 = Self-Effacement（M±SD:2.95±0.65）自谦
2、5、21、25、26、30
The items loading on this factor tapped restraint in pursuing self-interest, and could be termed self-effacement.
Factor 2 = Other-Enhancement（M±SD:3.68±0.44）抬高他人
1、8、12、13、14、15、16、19、23、24、27、28
This factor encompassed items involving the expression of concern for others and their elevation of others, and so was labeled other-enhancement.
Factor 3 = Avoidance of Attention-Seeking（M±SD:3.50±0.43）低调
3、4、6、7、9、10、11、17、18、20、22、29
Items loading on this factor pertained to avoiding self-promotion and self-aggrandizement in public, so it was thus named avoidance of attention-seeking.
The reliability coefficients for the three factors were .76, .79, and .72
