Objective : The purpose of the study is to examine the construct validity and internal consistency of the Sensory Processing Scale for Children (SPS-C).
Method : 117 participants who are aged 3 to 5 years old has been evaluated by the Sensory Processing Scale for Children (SPS-C) for this study and the period is from November 2014 to June 2016. Statistics used for data analysis is factor analysis for construct validity and Cronbach's alpha for internal consistency.
Results : In the factor analysis, the items in auditory, visual, and tactile showed a high factor loading, respectively. The items in vestibular and proprioceptive were overlapped. For internal consistency, Cronbach's alpha was .728 for whole scale which is high level. And Cronbach's alpha of each factor was range within .326~.636.
Conclusion : The results of the psychometric test in this study evidence that the SPS-C is valid and reliable to be utilized. Further study need to examine various validities and reliabilities as well as standardization.
