K-BIT
Kinder-Bilderinteressentest
Short abstract
The K-BIT measures children's interests using 30 items and has as its constructional basis the Inventory of Children's Activities ICA-3 as well as the RIASEC model (Holland, 1997), whose six dimensions have been adopted for the questionnaire and picture book version of the K-BIT: (1) Practical-Technical, (2) Intellectual-Inquiry, (3) Linguistic-Artistic, (4) Social, (5) Entrepreneurial, and (6) Conventional. Reliability: For the questionnaire version, internal consistencies ranged from Cronbach's alpha = .71 to alpha = .81, and retest reliability ranged from rtt = .47 to rtt = .64. For the picture book version, reliability characteristics were limited due to the only three-item response format and the young age of the sample (alpha = .33-.60, rtt = .30-.59). Validity: As part of the test construction, analyses were conducted to examine construct validity. The hypothesis-compliant relationship between K-BIT and ICA-3 supports the assumption of convergent validity. Structural validity is given for the questionnaire version. The picture book version shows that the interest structure of children under the age of nine does not yet correspond to that of adults.
