Research Findings: Emotion knowledge is one facet of social and emotional learning (SEL) that emerges in early childhood. Various interventions measures target preschoolers' skills to bolster these foundational competencies prior formal schooling. One measure emotion specifically with preschool children the Affect Knowledge Test (AKT). Despite decades use adaptations for different modalities populations preschoolers, no study has previously examined psychometric properties independent items on AKT. This utilized Rasch procedures analyze how AKT function across a sample 193 preschoolers (mean age = 49.7 months). Analyses revealed unidimensional model fit well item data. Age was significant predictor affect knowledge, older having increased scores. Results support previous findings ceiling effect children. Practice Policy: Our adds empirical understanding its as tool young The children's scores had adequate reliability, supporting low stakes research-based purposes.
