  ABSTRACT: This preliminary study developed and validated the Cultural Security Awareness Scale (CSAS) for Chinese college students. Combining materialist epistemology and policy requirements, the scale assesses emotional attitudes, rational cognition, and situational thinking dimensions. An initial 60-item pool was refined through expert evaluation and pilot testing. In the first round, the scale was administered to 377 college students. Exploratory factor analysis supported a three-factor structure. In the second round, 259 college students completed the refined 15-item scale. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses supported a three-factor structure with good model fit, reliability, and validity. The scale can evaluate college students’ cultural security awareness and guide educational interventions. Future research should validate the scale with larger samples and diverse populations. Adapting the scale for college students in other countries could provide insights into cultural security awareness across different contexts.
