| Abstract |
The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of the social responsibility goal scale for elementary school and junior high school children. This scale was administered to 485 ...fourth through sixth graders and 259 seventh through eighth graders. In addition, teachers were asked to rate the strength of the children’s responsibility. The results of an exploratory factor analysis indicated that the scale can be divided into two subscales: compliance goals and prosocial goals. Regarding reliability, in fourth through sixth graders, the Cronbach’s α of the compliance goals subscale was .80, and that of the prosocial goals subscale was .87; in seventh through eighth graders, the Cronbach’s α of the compliance goals subscale was .81, and that of the prosocial goals was .86. In addition, teachers were asked to rate the degree of children’s responsibility toward the classroom. Both subscales were positively related to teacher’s ratings of children’s responsibility. Thus, we concluded that this scale had high reliability and validity.show more
