The purpose of this study was to develop and validate the Children’s Optimistic Attribution Style Questionnaire (COASQ) to measure the attribution style of children. The participants in this study were students sampled from the fifth and sixth grades in Taiwan elementary schools. The instrument of this study included the COASQ, CHS (Children's Hope Scale), and the ADI (Adolescent Depression Inventory). The results are listed as follows: (1) The COASQ consists of four factors, including internality, stability, globality, and acceptance. (2) Reliability studies of the eight dimensions of COASQ yielded Cronbach α coefficients ranging from . to .73, and .77 for the entire scale, indicating modest stability. (3) The construct validity and concurrent validity were found to be satisfactory. Confirmatory factor analysis: χ2=8.22, p=.016, CFI=.99,RMSEA=.065,SRMR=.026,χ2/df=4.11,NFI=.97,CFI=.99, RFI=.96,AGFI=.97, indicating a good fit of COASQ in this study. There were significant (p<.01) positive associations of CHS and COASQ factors, including: internality=.41, stability=.48, globality=.56, acceptance=.54;There were significant (p<.01) negative associations of ADI and COASQ factors, including: internality=-.31, stability=-.45, globality=-.53, acceptance=-.45. Based on the findings of the study, implication and suggestions are offered for reference regarding teachers, counselors, parents, and future research. |
