Rex, Camille C.; Metzler, Jonathan N. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2016
The purpose of this research was to develop a measure of sport injury anxiety (SIA), defined as the tendency to make threat appraisals in sport situations where injury is seen as possible and/or likely. The Sport Injury Anxiety Scale (SIAS) was developed in three stages. In Stage 1, expert raters evaluated items to determine their adequacy. In…

McElhiney, Danielle; Kang, Minsoo; Starkey, Chad; Ragan, Brian – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2014
The purpose of the study was to improve the immediate and delayed memory sections of the Standardized Assessment of Concussion (SAC) by identifying a list of more psychometrically sound items (words). A total of 200 participants with no history of concussion in the previous six months (aged 19.60 ± 2.20 years; N?=?93 men, N?=?107 women)…

Brown, Theresa C.; Fry, Mary D.; Little, Todd D. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2013
Given the potential benefits of understanding how climate may influence individuals' motivational outcomes, there exists a need for instrumentation measuring exercise setting climates. The purpose of this study was to validate further the psychometric properties of the Perceived Motivational Climate in Exercise Questionnaire (Huddleston, Fry &…

Mullin, Elizabeth M. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2013
Homophobia and heterosexism in women's athletics have been studied extensively using a qualitative approach. Limited research from a quantitative approach has been conducted in the area and none with a sport-specific instrument. The purpose of the current study was to develop a valid and reliable questionnaire to measure heterosexist attitudes in…

Levy, Susan S.; Readdy, R. Tucker – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2009
The purpose of this study was to examine the test-retest reliability of the last 7-day long form International Physical Activity Questionnaire (Craig et al., 2003) and to examine the construct validity for the measure in a research setting. Participants were 151 male (n = 52) and female (n = 99) university students (M age = 24.15 years, SD = 5.01)…

Kalmet, Natalie; Fouladi, Rachel T. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2008
This study assessed the performance of the original version of the Physical Self-Perception Profile (PSPP; Fox & Corbin, 1989) as compared to a revised version. University students (N = 259) participated in the study, each answering and comparing the clarity of the original and a revised PSPP. While participants found the revised version to be…

Ocker, Liette B.; Lam, Eddie T. C.; Jensen, Barbara E.; Zhang, James J. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2007
The study was designed to examine the construct validity and internal consistency reliability of the Eating Attitudes Test (EAT) using a confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Two widely adopted EAT models were tested: three-factor (Dieting, Bulimia and Food Preoccupation, and Oral Control) with 26 items (Garner, Olmsted, Bohr, & Garfinkel, 1982),…

Baumgartner, Ted A.; Gaunt, Sharon j. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2005
Traditionally the pull-up was used as a measure of arm and shoulder girdle strength and endurance. This measure did not discriminate among ability levels because many zero scores occur. Baumgartner (1978) developed a modified pull-up test that was easier than the traditional pull-up test. The Baumgartner Modified Pull-Up (BMPU) has been used as an…

Lindwall, Magnus – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2005
This study examines the factorial validity, factorial invariance across gender, and construct validity of a Swedish version of the Self-Presentation in Exercise Questionnaire (SPEQ; Conroy, Motl, & Hall, 2000). The a priori two-factor 14-item, 11-item, and 9-item models fail to reach acceptable levels of fit in a calibration sample. A modified…
