Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the reliability and validity of the Childhood Career Development Scale (CCDS) on a sample of 1018 Iranian elementary school students. The Confirmatory factor analysis revealed that the original eight-factor model was of a good fit. Measurement invariance analyses indicated equivalence across gender and grade. A factorial MANOVA was applied to assess gender and grade mean differences in CCDS subscales. Concurrent validity of the CCDS subscales with the measures of Locus of Control and the children’s Industry was confirmed. The CCDS Persian version proved to have good psychometric indexes for assessing children’s career development.
Résumé
Propriétés Psychométriques de la Childhood Career Development Scale chez les Élèves des Écoles Primaires Iraniennes Cette étude avait pour but d'étudier la fiabilité et la validité de l’échelle Childhood Career Development Scale (CCDS) sur un échantillon de 1018 élèves d'écoles primaires iraniennes. L'analyse factorielle confirmatoire a révélé que le modèle original à huit facteurs était bien ajusté. Les analyses d'invariance de mesure ont indiqué une équivalence entre le genre et le niveau scolaire. Une MANOVA factorielle a été appliquée pour évaluer les différences de moyenne entre le genre et le niveau scolaire dans les sous-échelles du CCDS. La validité simultanée des sous-échelles du CCDS avec les mesures du Lieux de contrôle et de l'Industry des enfants a été confirmée. La version persane du CCDS s'est avérée avoir de bons indices psychométriques pour évaluer le développement de carrière des enfants.
Zusammenfassung
Psychometrische Eigenschaften der Childhood Career Development Scale bei iranischen Grundschülern Ziel dieser Studie war es, die Reliabilität und Validität der Childhood Career Development Scale (CCDS) an einer Stichprobe von 1018 iranischen Grundschülern zu untersuchen. Die konfirmatorische Faktorenanalyse ergab, dass das ursprüngliche Acht-Faktoren-Modell eine gute Passung aufweist. Analysen der Messinvarianz ergaben Äquivalenz hinsichtlich Geschlechts und Klassenstufe. Eine faktorielle MANOVA wurde angewandt, um die geschlechts- und klassenbezogenen Mittelwertunterschiede in den CCDS-Teilskalen zu beurteilen. Die Übereinstimmungsvalidität der CCDS-Subskalen mit Locus of Control wurde nachgewiesen. Die persische Version des CCDS erwies sich als psychometrisch guter Indikator zur Beurteilung der beruflichen Entwicklung von Kindern.
