Abstract: (209 Views)
Background: The concept of respect is one of the fundamental values in education and social development, which has been emphasized in policies, educational programs, and workplace environments. Despite the general consensus on the importance of respect, existing research has primarily focused on adults and has paid less attention to the conceptualization and measurement of respect in children. Specifically, in children aged 10 to 12, who are at a critical stage of cognitive and moral development, valid and standardized psychometric tools to assess this concept have rarely been developed.
Aims: The aim of the present study was to examine the psychometric properties of the questionnaire on the concept of respect in children.
Methods: The present study was descriptive-correlational in nature. The statistical population consisted of all students aged 10 to 12 years in the city of Kermanshah during the 2022-2023 academic year. A cluster random sampling method was employed to select the sample, and 350 individuals were chosen from the target population to respond to the researcher-developed respect scale. For data analysis, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were performed using the software Smart PLS 4, SPSS-26, and AMOS-24.
Results: The results of the study indicated that the respect concept scale has acceptable internal consistency (α= 0.886). The correlation between the two administrations of the scale was 0.873
(p< 0.01). Additionally, the results of the confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the unidimensional model of the scale exhibited a good fit (p= 0.001).
Conclusion: The children’s concept of respect scale in Iran possesses desirable psychometric properties and can be utilized as a tool for examining concepts related to respect in children.
