摘要

我们提出了一个测量经济能力认知成分的12项量表，并记录了量表的心理测量特性。使用德国12000名中学生的数据集，该量表显示出很高的歧视性，涵盖了广泛的能力水平。对“差异项目功能”的分析显示，在关键人口统计学特征中没有项目偏差，得分与从邻近测试工具获得的分数显示出有意义的关联。学生水平与早期文献中记录的镜像估计以及依赖于包含31个项目的更广泛版本的结果相关。本文提出的短量表使研究人员和从业人员能够有效地衡量青年的经济能力。

Measuring economic competence of youth with a short scale

We present a 12-item scale measuring the cognitive component of economic competence and document the psychometric properties of the scale. Using a data set with >12,000 secondary school students in Germany, the scale shows high discriminatory power and covers a wide range of ability levels. Analyses of ‘Differential Item Functioninǵ show no item bias across key demographic characteristics, and scores show meaningful associations with scores obtained from adjacent test instruments. Student-level correlates mirror estimates documented in earlier literature as well as results relying on a more extensive version of the scale with 31 items. The presented short scale enables researchers and practitioners to efficiently measure economic competence of youth.

期刊介绍： The Journal aims to present research that will improve understanding of behavioral, in particular psychological, aspects of economic phenomena and processes. The Journal seeks to be a channel for the increased interest in using behavioral science methods for the study of economic behavior, and so to contribute to better solutions of societal problems, by stimulating new approaches and new theorizing about economic affairs. Economic psychology as a discipline studies the psychological mechanisms that underlie economic behavior. It deals with preferences, judgments, choices, economic interaction, and factors influencing these, as well as the consequences of judgements and decisions for economic processes and phenomena. This includes the impact of economic institutions upon human behavior and well-being. Studies in economic psychology may relate to different levels of aggregation, from the household and the individual consumer to the macro level of whole nations. Economic behavior in connection with inflation, unemployment, taxation, economic development, as well as consumer information and economic behavior in the market place are thus among the fields of interest. The journal also encourages submissions dealing with social interaction in economic contexts, like bargaining, negotiation, or group decision-making. The Journal of Economic Psychology contains: (a) novel reports of empirical (including: experimental) research on economic behavior; (b) replications studies; (c) assessments of the state of the art in economic psychology; (d) articles providing a theoretical perspective or a frame of reference for the study of economic behavior; (e) articles explaining the implications of theoretical developments for practical applications; (f) book reviews; (g) announcements of meetings, conferences and seminars.
