Abstract

Independent problem solving (IPS) involves solving problems alone; with motivation and persistence; without watching others; or requesting or receiving help. The Early Independent Problem Solving Survey (EIPSS) was developed for 12- to 47-month-olds. Study 1 (N = 272) found good internal reliability and a 2-factor structure: Repetitive (repeatedly solvable problems, e.g., jigsaws) and Novel IPS (one-off problems, e.g., reaching out-of-reach toys). Study 2 (N = 567) confirmed good internal reliability and the 2-factor structure. Study 3 (N = 85) found a positive correlation between a divergent thinking lab measure and Novel IPS. Study 4 found good 6-month-longitudinal stability (N = 110) for the EIPSS and its subscales; and good agreement between parents (N = 32) for the Repetitive subscale. Study 5 (all data combined) demonstrated no item functioning differences across demographic variables. Differences for child age, child gender, parent age, and parent education were found for the EIPSS and subscales.

早期独立问题解决调查(EIPSS)在12-47月龄儿童中的心理测量特征

独立解决问题(IPS)指的是独自解决问题;有动力和毅力;不看别人的;或者请求或接受帮助。早期独立问题解决调查(EIPSS)是为12至47个月大的婴儿开发的。研究1 (N = 272)发现了良好的内部信度和双因素结构:重复性(反复可解决的问题，如拼图)和新颖IPS(一次性问题，如够不到的玩具)。研究2 (N = 567)证实了良好的内部信度和双因子结构。研究3 (N = 85)发现发散思维实验室测量与Novel IPS呈正相关。研究4发现EIPSS及其子量表具有良好的6个月纵向稳定性(N = 110);重复分量表父母间一致性较好(N = 32)。研究5(所有数据合并)表明在人口统计变量之间没有项目功能差异。儿童年龄、儿童性别、父母年龄和父母教育程度在EIPSS和子量表中存在差异。

期刊介绍： Cognitive Development contains the very best empirical and theoretical work on the development of perception, memory, language, concepts, thinking, problem solving, metacognition, and social cognition. Criteria for acceptance of articles will be: significance of the work to issues of current interest, substance of the argument, and clarity of expression. For purposes of publication in Cognitive Development, moral and social development will be considered part of cognitive development when they are related to the development of knowledge or thought processes.
