Wu, Sz-Yan; Kang, Hyeon-Ah; Jensen, Jody L. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
The objective was to verify the construct validity and test-retest reliability of the Test of Advanced Movement Skills (TAMS) with an innovative dual-outcome scoring system. Three statistical approaches--confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM), and item response theory analysis (IRT)--were applied to the…

Garn, Alex C.; Webster, E. Kipling – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2018
The Test of Gross Motor Development--Second Edition (TGMD-2) is a widely used evaluation tool of children's fundamental motor skills (FMS). This study illustrates how exploratory structural equation modeling (ESEM) addresses current limitations associated with TGMD-2 factor structure. Using the normative dataset from the TGMD-2 manual, we test…

Cornick, Jessica E. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2015
The current study utilized exercise self-efficacy ratings from undergraduate students to assess the factor structure of the Self-Efficacy to Regulate Exercise Scale (Bandura, 1997, 2006). An exploratory factor analysis (n = 759) indicated a two-factor model solution and three separate confirmatory factor analyses (n = 1,798) supported this…

Rathwell, Scott; Young, Bradley W. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2016
Limited tools assess positive development through university sport. Such a tool was validated in this investigation using two independent samples of Canadian university athletes. In Study 1, 605 athletes completed 99 survey items drawn from the Youth Experience Scale (YES 2.0), and separate a priori measurement models were evaluated (i.e., 99…

Gunnell, Katie E.; Wilson, Philip M.; Zumbo, Bruno D.; Mack, Diane E.; Crocker, Peter R. E. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2012
The researchers examined if scores from the original Psychological Need Satisfaction in Exercise Scale (Wilson, Rogers, Rodgers, & Wild, 2006) were invariant from a modified version specific to physical activity and then examined measurement invariance of scores across groups on the modified scale. Three groups were examined: (a) Students/staff…

Choosakul, Chairat; Vongjaturapat, Naruepon; Li, Fuzhong; Harmer, Peter – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2009
Grounded in the conceptual framework of the Sport Commitment Model and previous empirical studies conducted in Western countries, this study was designed to (a) test and validate a Thai version of the Athlete Opinion Survey to assess components of the Sport Commitment Model in Thai youth athletes and (b) examine structural relationships among…
