Ein Big Five-Inventar für Kinder und Jugendliche

Die deutsche Version des Hierarchical Personality Inventory for Children (HiPIC)

Published Online:July 09, 2009https://doi.org/10.1026/0012-1924.55.3.160

Abstract

Zusammenfassung. Das Hierarchical Personality Inventory for Children (HiPIC) ist ein Fragebogen zur Messung der Big Five Persönlichkeitsfaktoren bei Kindern und Jugendlichen. Die Originalform (Mervielde & De Fruyt, 1999) wurde auf der Basis von freien Elterninterviews konstruiert, um ein umfassendes Inventar zur Messung der Persönlichkeit von Kindern und Jugendlichen zu entwickeln. In der vorliegenden Studie wurde die psychometrische Qualität der deutschen Selbst- und Elternbeurteilungsversion des HiPIC in einer Stichprobe von 223 Heranwachsenden (11–15 Jahre) untersucht. Dabei ergaben sich für die Selbst- und Fremdbeurteilungsform zufriedenstellende Reliabilitäten. Die angenommene Fünf-Faktoren-Struktur ließ sich in beiden Beurteilermodi angemessen replizieren und erwies sich in Subgruppenanalysen als weitgehend invariant. Des Weiteren konnte eine hohe Kongruenz der Faktorenstrukturen der deutschen Version mit der flämischen Originalform, der französischen und auch der italienischen Version des Fragebogens nachgewiesen werden. Die zufriedenstellende Konvergenz zwischen den Selbst- und Elternbeurteilungen stützt die Validität des Verfahrens als Selbstberichtinventar für Heranwachsende.


A Big Five inventory for children and adolescents: The German version of the Hierarchical Personality Inventory for Children (HiPIC)

Abstract. The Hierarchical Personality Inventory for Children (HiPIC) is a questionnaire measuring the Big Five personality factors in children and adolescents. The development was based on free parental personality descriptions of children (Mervielde & De Fruyt, 1999) to provide a comprehensive personality inventory for children and adolescents. The present study investigates the psychometric properties of the German self- and parent-report versions of the HiPIC in a sample of 223 adolescents aged 11 to 15. Reliability coefficients for the self- and parent-report versions were quite satisfactory. The expected five-factor structure was replicated adequately across judges and proved to be largely invariant across various subsamples. Furthermore, we found a high congruence among the factor structures of the German, the original Flemish, the French and the Italian versions of the questionnaire. The quite satisfactory correspondence between self and parent ratings provides support for the validity of the HiPIC as a self-report measure for adolescents.
