The Instruments

The How I Feel About Myself and School Questionnaire is a measure of youth wellbeing in the school context. 30‐item self‐report measure of emotion for 8‐ to 12‐year‐old children—the How I Feel (HIF). Item generation and selection occurred via 2 pilot administrations (ns = 250 and 378, respectively). The HIF can be useful in understanding the interplay between arousal and control in social‐emotional adjustment in school‐age children. Three scales are included: Positive Emotions (e.g., “I feel happy very often”); Negative Emotion (e.g., “When I felt sad, my sad feelings are very strong”); Emotion Control (e.g., : “I was in control of how often I felt mad”) Subscore(s): There are four subscores: Interpersonal, Life-satisfaction, Competence, Negative emotion

Social psychologist Arthur Aron and colleagues (1992) developed the single-item Inclusion of Other in the Self (IOS) scale to measure how close the respondent feels with another person or group. The IOS has been given to respondents as young as five years old (Cameron, 2006), as well as to teens and adults. It has also been used with respondents living on a low income and previously incarcerated respondents (Folk et al., 2016; Mashek, Cannaday, & Tangney, 2007). Respondents see seven pairs of circles that range from just touching to almost completely overlapping. One circle in each pair is labeled "self, " and the second circle is labeled "other." Respondents choose one of the seven pairs to answer the question, "Which picture best describes your relationship with [this person/group]?" Researchers indicate what person or group the "other‚" circle stands for (e.g., "your romantic partner, " "your parents," "your community," etc.). 1 = no overlap; 2 = little overlap; 3 = some overlap; 4 = equal overlap; 5 = strong overlap; 6 = very strong overlap; 7 = most overlap. Subscore(s): Closeness

The IDI examines how one engages cultural difference through reflection of past and current situations and experiences. An individual’s IDI profile report provides a perceived orientation score (how one sees themselves when interacting) and a developmental orientation score (how one actually interacts in situations) that pinpoints where, on a five-point continuum, the individual falls: denial, polarization, minimalization, acceptance, or adaption. An orientation gap is also reported that identifies how likely the user is to misread how effective they are in bridging across cultural differences. The profile report provides next steps an individual would take to further develop intercultural competence.
