Abstract (eng)
Upon its first application and subsequent revision, emerging development screening procedure for children aged between six and ten “ESH 6-10” was implemented at after-school care clubs of cooperating organization Kinder in Wien for the second time. Entry and analysis of the newly collected data were subject of this thesis as well as further analyses of the merged whole of all data obtained so far. Thus satisfying reliability values between Cronbach alpha = .708 and .906 were found concerning the 14 postulated scales, with slight modifications of the item selection so as to optimize the questionnaire. In addition, potential enhancements were suggested. To examine the test procedure’s validity, an explorative factor analysis was conducted. The results support the underlying theory regarding the identifiability of both language and attitude to work in terms of essential topics in developmental psychology, whereas personality and social development appear not to be convincingly distinguishable. Referring to this, the possibly relevant personality dimensions agreeableness and extraversion are touched upon.
