描述了一种新的自我报告工具——儿童感知能力量表。重点放在评估儿童跨不同领域的能力感,而不是将感知能力视为一个单一的结构。三个领域的能力,每一个构成一个单独的子量表,确定:认知,社会和身体。第四个子量表,一般自我价值感,独立于任何特定的技能领域,包括。设计了一种新的问题格式,提供了更广泛的回答范围,并减少了给出社会期望答案的倾向。量表的心理测量特性呈现在三至九年级。重点放在其析因有效性上。每个子量表定义了一个单独的因素,表明儿童在这些领域中有明确的区分。在这个等级范围内,因子结构非常稳定。该量表被视为替代现有的有效性和可靠性存疑的自我概念测量。
A new self-report instrument, the Perceived Competence Scale for Children, is described. Emphasis is placed on the assessment of a child''s sense of competence across different domains, instead of viewing perceived competence as a unitary construct. Three domains of competence, each constituting a separate subscale, were identified: cognitive, social and physical. A 4th subscale, general self-worth, independent of any particular skill domain, was included. A new question format was devised which provides a broader range of responses and reduces the tendency to give socially desirable responses. The psychometric properties of the scale are presented for 3rd through 9th grades. Emphasis is placed on its factorial validity. Each subscale defines a separate factor, indicating that children make clear differentiations among these domains. The factor structure is extremely stable across this grade range. The scale is viewed as an alternative to those existing self-concept measures of questionable validity and reliability.
