Competing models of the factorial structure of the Pictorial Scale of Perceived Competence and Social Acceptance (PSPCSA) were tested for fit using multisample confirmatory factor analysis. The best fitting model was tested for invariance (a) across samples of middle-class (n = 251) and economically disadvantaged (Head Start, n = 117) kindergarten children (whose ages ranged from 67 to 86 months), and (b) over time (at the end of preschool and kindergarten) for the Head Start sample. For kindergarten children, regardless of socioeconomic status, the factor structure of the PSPCSA was consistent with the 2-factor model of Competence and Acceptance. This model also fit reasonably well for Head Start children at the end of their preschool year. However, in addition to providing broad support for the dimensionality of the measure, our findings highlight important concerns about the PSPCSA.
使用多样本验证性因素分析对感知能力与社会接纳图片量表(PSPCSA)的因子结构竞争模型进行拟合检验。对最佳拟合模型进行不变性检验:(a)针对中产阶级(n = 251)和经济弱势(启智计划,n = 117)的幼儿园儿童样本(年龄在67至86个月之间),以及(b)针对启智计划样本在不同时间(学前教育结束时和幼儿园结束时)进行检验。对于幼儿园儿童,无论社会经济地位如何,PSPCSA的因子结构都与能力和接纳的双因素模型一致。该模型在启智计划儿童学前教育结束时也拟合得相当好。然而,除了为该测量的维度提供广泛支持外,我们的研究结果还突出了对PSPCSA的重要关注。
