Running head: DEVELOPMENT AND VALIDATION OF SECQ
نویسنده
چکیده
Reliable and valid measures of children’s and adolescents’ social emotional competence (SEC) are necessary to develop in order to assess their social emotional development and provide appropriate intervention in child and adolescent development. A pool of 25 items was created for the Social Emotional Competence Questionnaire (SECQ) that represented five dimensions of SEC: self-awareness, social awareness, self-management, relationship management and responsible decision-making. A series of four studies are reported relating to the development and validation of the measure. Confirmatory factor analyses of the responses of 444 fourth-graders showed an acceptable fit of the model. The model was replicated with another 356 secondary school students. Additional studies revealed good internal consistency. The significant correlations among the five SEC components and academic performance provided evidence for the predictive validity of the instrument. With multiple samples, these results showed that the scale holds promise as a reliable, valid measure of SEC.

New equations have been developed to predict the effect of geometrical dimensions of tangential cyclones on their operational performances. To check the validity of the derived equations, an experimental apparatus was set up and some experimental work was performed. It was observed that the experimental results confirm properly the theoretical predictions.
