Based on interest theory, the FDKI was developed to measure interest in art in the five domains of applied arts, visual arts, performing arts, literature, and music. Interest is conceptualized independently of knowledge and concrete behavior. The psychometric analyses of the final FDKI scale are based on a data set of N = 112 individuals and found high reliability. The postulated theoretical interest facets of cognition, emotion, and value showed high correlations and could not be empirically separated as independent factors. Bifactorial modeling suggested that the interest in art measured by the FDKI has a general factor in addition to the domain structure. For validation, correlations in line with expectations were found with the established Vienna Art Interest and Art Knowledge Questionnaire (VAIAK) Part A, the Openness to Experience scale, and the creative self-concept. There were also indications of a gender effect. The FDKI provides an empirical basis for the differentiated measurement of interest in art, thus opening up new perspectives for research.deuartscale developmentFDKIart interest150masterthesisurn:nbn:de:bvb:473-irb-112358x
