Measurement of the Value of Children: Adaptation of the Portrait Values Questionnaire

14376

The purpose of this study was to determine adaptation of the Schwartz s Portrait Values Questionnaire (PVQ, a self-report instrument) for the Turkish children. A total of 218 students were reached under the study. 110 (49.5%) of the students were male and 108 (49.5%) of them were female. The students ages ranged between 9 and 12 (x = 10.53, Sd = .73). The multidimensional scaling analysis was used in order to construct validity of the scale. Some differences were determined in point of the values contained in the sub-dimensions of the scale. A validity of the scale was calculated by CFA. It was found that PVQ might measure children’s values in a valid and reliable way. The results were discussed within the framework of the scale’s psychometric properties and the model of universal values.
