Abstract: With the aim to validate the internet altruistic behavior scale of college students, the internet moral behavior and correlation with Regulatory Emotional Self-efficacy have been explored. By means of both the internet altruistic behavior and self-efficacy scale of emotional regulatory, 985 undergraduates as volunteers ranging from almost all majors, were assessed. All participants were divided into two samples, one for exploratory factor analysis, the other for confirmatory factor analysis and relational analysis. The results showed a good construct validity (χ2/ df =3.08, CFI = 0. 96, IFI = 0. 97, RMSEA = 0. 08) and a excellent α coefficient (α=0.94). In addition, there is no difference in gender but significant difference in education, major and grade on the internet altruistic behavior (F(1,910)=0.186, P=0.83; F(2,910)=22.40, P=0.00; F(3,910)=9.01, P=0.00; F(3,910)=9.82, P=0.00) ; and a significant positive correlation appears between internet altruistic behavior and self efficacy of emotional regulatory (r=0.28, p=0.00). Based on the mentioned above, it can be concluded that the internet altruistic behavior scale possessed good construct validity and can be applied as a tool to measure individual’s altruistic behavior on internet; as well they self efficacy of emotional regulatory has a positive correlation with internet altruistic behavior.
