Data for Exploring the dimensionality of the positive youth development 5C very short form using Rasch measurement theory in Swedish upper secondary school contexts.
https://doi.org/10.5878/w9wy-ak07
The dataset consists of 430 responses from a survey conducted among upper secondary school students in southern Sweden during the spring of 2024. The instrument used was a translated version of the 5C Positive Youth Development – Very Short Form (PYD-VSF). Two background variables are included, along with the 17 items that make up the instrument.
The data are structured so that they can be exported to a CSV file prepared for RUMM2030, meaning there is an empty variable between the ID number and gender, as well as between gender and the items. Gender and school year are nominal variables. All responses to the respective items are ordinal variables ranging from 1 to 5.
In the psychometric study that was conducted, this SPSS file was used to export the data to **RUMM2030**, where the analyses were then performed.

Sampling procedure:
Description of sampling:
The sample is based on the region specified in the ethics application, and a register of Swedish upper secondary schools from 2024 were used .
The selection is also based on the fact that data were collected simultaneously for another study that aimed to include sports education at upper secondary level. Therefore, a purposive sampling approach was used, and a total of 42 schools offering sports education were contacted and provided with a QR code to share with all their students.

Ethical review information:
Etikprövningen gjordes för datainsamling till tre studier totalt, varav en är den metodartikel som detta dataset ligger till grunden för. Då datainsamlingen berörde unga personer i åldern 15-18 och frågor om hälsa så behövdes tillstånd från etikprövningen.
Inga personuppgifter samlades in, men i etikansökan så specificerades att data inte skulle delas utanför forskargruppen då den baserar sig på data från vad som anses vara en känslig grupp (unga personer). På grund av denna formulering så finns det därför en restriktion på delning av data eftersom det är detta som myndigheten har tagit beslut på.
