Background and Purpose: Self-perception reflects people's judgment of their abilities to achieve a certain goal. Therefore, considering the importance of this component in reinforcing children's development and taking into account the lack of a valid and appropriate tool in Iran to assess self-perception in children, this study is focused on validation and confirmatory factor analysis of the Persian version of Self-perception Profile for Children (Harter, 2012).
Method: The present study was a descriptive correlational study. The study population included all the female students aging 10-12 in Tehran during the academic year 2021-2022. A sample of 347 students was selected by convenience method. AMOS and SPSS24 were used to analyze the data.
Results: Upon performing the translation and obtaining the opinions of experts and participants, the face validity of the scale was confirmed. Results of the confirmatory factor analysis showed that in the sample of Iranian students, the six-factor structure of the scale demonstrated a good fit to the data. Internal consistency coefficients for the scholastic competence, social competence, athletic competence, physical appearance, behavioral conduct, and global self-worth subscales were 0.76, 0.65, 0.73, 0.81, 0.70, and 0.79, respectively.
Conclusion: In general, results showed that Self-perception Profile for Children is a valid scale to assess children's perception of their competence. This scale can be used to measure self-perception in research and therapeutic domains.
