Abstract
The Arts Self-Perception Inventory (ASPI) is a new instrument for junior high school and high school students designed to assess self-concept in four major arts-related domains: music, visual arts, dance, and dramatic arts. Two-hundred-and-five 7th-grade students completed this inventory, the Self Description Questionnaire II (SDQ II), and an investigator-designed questionnaire assessing interest, self-ratings of ability, grades, and noteworthy accomplishments in the arts and school subject areas. Conventional and confirmatory factor analyses clearly identified the four dimensions the ASPI is intended to measure. ASPI subscale scores were highly reliable (all as = .92) and, in general, had low correlations with each other and with the other dimensions of self-concept measured by the SDQ II. Correlations among self-concept dimensions and other indices formed a logically consistent pattern that strongly supported the construct validity of the ASPI scores.
