Tanaka, Rumi; Yakushiji, Kanako; Tanaka, Satomi; Tsubaki, Michihiro; Fujita, Kimie – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
This study aimed to review the validity and/or reliability of light-intensity physical activity (LPA) questionnaires and identify the most suitable questionnaires for measurement of LPA in adults. Following the PRISMA-P 2020 guidelines, we searched MEDLINE, PsycINFO, CINAHL, Scopus, Embase, and MedNar. Only studies that targeted adults [greater…

Maïano, Christophe; Thibault, Isabelle; Dreiskämper, Dennis; Henning, Lena; Tietjens, Maike; Aimé, Annie – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
The present study sought to examine the psychometric properties of the French and German versions of the Physical Self-Concept Questionnaire for Elementary School Children-Revised (PSCQ-C-R). A sample of 519 children participated in this study. Of those, 197 were French-Canadian and 322 were German. Results support the factor validity and…

Maïano, Christophe; Morin, Alexandre J. S.; Tietjens, Maike; Bastos, Tânia; Luiggi, Maxime; Corredeira, Rui; Griffet, Jean; Sánchez-Oliva, David – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
The present study sought to examine the psychometric properties of new German, Portuguese, and Spanish versions of the Revised Short Form of the Physical Self-Inventory (PSI-S-"R"), and to contrast these properties against those from the original French version of this instrument. Participants (n = 1802) were 288 French youth, 177 German…

The main aim of this study was to assess the criterion validity of the Sedentary Behavior Questionnaire (SBQ) to measure SB in community-dwelling older adults using thigh-measured accelerometry as the criterion method. 801 participants (75.6 ± 6.1 years old, 57.6% females) provided valid thigh-based accelerometer data (activPAL/Axivity) and…

Eddy, Lucy; Hill, Liam J. B.; Mon-Williams, Mark; Preston, Nick; Daly-Smith, Andy; Medd, Gareth; Bingham, Daniel D. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2021
Evidence suggests that children struggle to acquire age-appropriate fundamental movement skills (FMS), despite their importance for facilitating physical activity. This has led to calls for routine school-based screening of children's FMS. However, there is limited research exploring schools' capacity to conduct such assessments. This study…

van Veen, Carmen; Schott, Nadja; Lander, Natalie; Tietjens, Maike; Hinkley, Trina; Dreiskämper, Dennis; Holfelder, Benjamin; Utesch, Till; Barnett, Lisa M. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2020
Children's positive perceived motor competence (PMC) provides motivation for physical activity. Theoretically young children (<8 years) have inflated PMC but as children cognitively develop, perceptions are hypothesized to decrease. This study investigated strength of PMC association over time, whether any change was negative (i.e. PMC…

Swierzy, Philipp; Wicker, Pamela; Breuer, Christoph – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2019
In many areas of sport management, individual behavior is not only driven by individual characteristics but also by higher level contextual factors. For instance, voluntary engagement in nonprofit sports clubs is influenced by organizational characteristics. Such multilevel structures should not only be considered theoretically, as in ecological…

Krüger, Mirko – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2019
This study aimed to develop and psychometrically evaluate a self-report instrument to assess attitudes and self-efficacy of Physical Education (PE) preservice teachers toward teaching linguistically and culturally diverse PE classes. An 18-item instrument was developed for the initial tests. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory…

Bödeker, Malte; Bucksch, Jens; Wallmann-Sperlich, Birgit – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2018
The Neighborhood Physical Activity Questionnaire allows to assess physical activity within and outside the neighborhood. Study objectives were to examine the criterion-related validity and health/functioning associations of Neighborhood Physical Activity Questionnaire-derived physical activity in German older adults. A total of 107 adults aged…

Heemsoth, Tim; Retelsdorf, Jan – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2018
Educational research emphasizes the advantages of multimethod designs. However, if the design comprises different perspectives, the question of construct validity emerges. We related this question to student and teacher ratings of student-student relations, which are of high interest in research on physical education. In our study, 2,160 students…

Ennigkeit, Fabienne; Hänsel, Frank – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2018
The purpose of the present study was to examine the factorial and convergent validity of the German translation of the Exercise Identity Scale (EIS; Anderson & Cychosz, 1994). We introduce a bifactor model as a possible alternative to the previously discussed one- and two-factor models. Using an online study with 530 participants, our results…

Freund, Philipp Alexander; Tietjens, Maike; Strauss, Bernd – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2013
The current study employs Mixture Distribution Rasch models to compare the psychometric properties of two rating scale variants (original rating scale with six response categories, "N"?=?806 school students; a variant with four response categories, "N"?=?905 school students) for five specific scales of the Physical…
