Validering af “Om mig selv”—et spørgeskema til børn

Abstract

Grønfeldt, V. et al. (2003). Validating “About my self”—an questionnaire for children. Nordisk Psykologi, 55, 94–106.

One of the aims in the “Ballerup-projekt” is to investigate approximately 1000, 7 years old children's “thoughts about themselves”. For that purpose a questionnaire, for group administration in a schoolsetting, has been developed and validated. The questionnaire contains 30 items monitoring the children's concept of themselves with regard to social accept, academic competence, physical competence, social competence, thriving in school and social status. 254 7–8 years old children have tried the questionnaire and 90 of these have retried after 10–12 weeks. The response has been investigated with concern for the children's understanding of the structure and content. The response has also been statistically described, examined for missing values, internal factors, gender differences and reproducibility. The questionnaire has been found valid for the purpose, especially for a short term measure.
