Description
Summary:There is a strong and growing focus on self-determination in French-speaking countries, and this pilot study reports the technical adequacy of the Self-Determination Inventory: Student Report (SDI:SR) French Translation. Data were collected with 471 French-speaking youth with and without disabilities in Canada (Quebec), Switzerland, France, and Belgium. Key findings showed it was feasible to use 20 (of 21) items to represent the self-determination construct in the French-speaking sample. The same set of items function in the same way across students with and without disabilities, and students with disabilities descriptively scored lower. Overall, this study provides promising evidence for reliability and validity of the SDI:SR French Translation and suggests ongoing development and larger-scale testing of the SDI:SR French Translation is warranted.
