Towards
the Validation of a Chinese Version of The Self-Description Questionnaire-1
D. Watkins, Q. Dong & Y. Xia |
Analysis
of response of 621 8-12 Beijing primary school children to a Chinese
version of the Self-Description Questionnaire-1 (SDQ, Marsh, 1988)
generally supported the reliability and validity of the SDQ. The
scale internal consistency reliability coefficients were very adequate
and factor analysis affirmed the within-construct validity of the
SDQ-1. Morevoer little evidence was found of the influence of irrelevant
response tendencies and teachers' ratings of characteristics of the
children correlated with their self-esteem scale scores as expected.
