理论模型表明，4 岁和 5 岁的儿童应该能够区分自我概念的多个维度，但实证支持有限。我们开发并测试了包含 38 项的学龄前儿童自我描述问卷 (SDQP)，该问卷测量 6 个自我概念因素（身体、外表、同伴、父母、语言和数学）。通过个人面试程序，幼儿（4.0-5.6 岁）完成了 SDQP 和成绩测试。自我概念量表可靠（.75-.89），一阶和高阶验证性因子分析模型拟合数据，因子相关性大多为中等（-.03-.73；Mdn =.29）。成绩测试分数与学术自我概念因素适度相关（rs = .15-.40），但与非学术自我概念呈非显着或显着负相关。这些结果引发了关于学龄前儿童自我报告有效性的批判性辩论，学龄前儿童在比之前自我概念研究建议的更小的年龄就区分了自我概念的多个维度。
Theoretical models suggest that 4- and 5-year-old children should be able to differentiate between multiple dimensions of self-concept, but empirical support is limited, A new 38-item Self Description Questionnaire for Preschoolers (SDQP) that measures 6 self-concept factors (Physical, Appearance, Peers. Parents, Verbal, and Math) was developed and tested. Through an individual-interview procedure, young children (4.0-5.6 years) completed the SDQP and achievement tests. The self-concept scales were reliable (.75-.89), first-order and higher order confirmatory factor analysis models fit the data, and factor correlations were mostly moderate (-.03-.73; Mdn =.29). Achievement test scores correlated modestly with academic self-concept factors (rs =.15-.40) but were nonsignificantly or significantly negatively related to nonacademic self-concepts. The results contribute to the critical debate about the validity of self-reports for preschool children, who distinguished between multiple dimensions of self-concept at an even younger age than suggested by previous self-concept research.
