Abstract
The aim of the present research was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Children's Character Strengths Inventory in an Iranian elementary school population. 464 elementary school-aged children were selected randomly. Exploratory factor analysis revealed a statistically suitable structure for the questions of the inventory. Confirmatory factor analysis was compared with two 'four-factor and six-factor models.' The results showed that the proposed structure of the inventory is confirmed by the data obtained from the sample of Iranian children. The significant correlation of children's character strengths inventory with parents' opinion about their children's character strengths is a confirmation of convergent reliability. Based on the results, it can be argued that the 89-item Children's Character Strengths Inventory is a valid and reliable tool for Iranian elementary school children and it can be used to identify children's character strengths.
期刊介绍：
The Journal of Genetic Psychology is devoted to research and theory in the field of developmental psychology. It encompasses a life-span approach, so in addition to manuscripts devoted to infancy, childhood, and adolescence, articles on adulthood and aging are also published. We accept submissions in the area of educational psychology as long as they are developmental in nature. Submissions in cross cultural psychology are accepted, but they must add to our understanding of human development in a comparative global context. Applied, descriptive, and qualitative articles are occasionally accepted, as are replications and refinements submitted as brief reports. The review process for all submissions to The Journal of Genetic Psychology consists of double blind review.
