Die Erforschung politischer Partizipation geflüchteter Jugendlicher. Eine erste Validierung der Skala ‚Politische Partizipation und Religiosität‘ (PPR)
摘要
Young refugees and their patterns of political attitudes have so far been a marginalized group in the research to date. This is not least due to the fact that few survey instruments have been developed explicitly for researching this specific group. This article therefore presents the ‘Political Participation and Religiosity’ (PPR) scale and subjects it to an initial validation by conducting a confirmatory factor analysis. For this purpose, longitudinal data from the study ‘Religion as Resource and Risk (ReReRi)’ is used. This initially allows for an cross-sectional examination of the factor structure at two measurement points; the longitudinal perspective furthermore enables a test of scale stability over time. Subsequently, possible application contexts are discussed. The analysis showed that, although minor modifications were necessary, the scale achieved fundamentally reliable results and a good model fit at each measurement point. The scale presented here can therefore be regarded as reliable and suitable for measuring the attitudes towards political participation of young refugees.
