本文介绍了一种新的自我报告工具--儿童知觉能力量表。重点放在评估儿童的能力感在不同的领域，而不是作为一个单一的结构视为感知能力。三个领域的能力，每个构成一个单独的分量表，被确定为：认知，社会和物理。第四分量表，一般自我价值，独立于任何特定的技能领域，包括在内。设计了一种新的问题格式，提供了更广泛的答案，并减少了提供社会所需答案的倾向。该量表的心理测量学特性为第三至第九年级。重点放在它的因子效度。每个分量表定义了一个单独的因素，表明儿童在这些领域之间做出了明确的区分。在这个等级范围内，因子结构非常稳定。该量表被认为是一种替代现有的自我概念的有效性和可靠性有问题的措施。
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.
