摘要：

This paper discusses the development of a children's rights-based measure of participation and the findings from its use in a survey of 10- to 11-year-old children (n = 3773). The measure, which was developed in collaboration with a group of children, had a high reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.89). Findings suggest that children's positive experience of their participation rights is higher in school than in community, and higher for girls compared to boys. It is argued that involving children in the 'measurement' of their own lives has the potential to generate more authentic data on children's lived experiences.
