Kim, Kyungyeol; Lee, Senyung – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2023
The purpose of the study is to validate the 54-item Fitness Switching Costs Scale (FSCS). The FSCS consists of a third-order formative construct with four second-order formative constructs and 11 first-order reflective constructs. Although there was support for the reliability and validity of higher-order constructs, validity of the 11 first-order…

Chung, ChihMing; Liao, Xiaolan; Song, Hairong; Lee, Taehun – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2016
The multi-dimensionality of Physical Self-Perception Profile (PSPP) has been acknowledged by the use of correlated-factor model and second-order model. In this study, the authors critically endorse the bifactor model, as a substitute to address the multi-dimensionality of PSPP. To cross-validate the models, analyses are conducted first in…

Moore, E. Whitney G.; Fry, Mary D. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2014
This study's purpose was to examine the psychometric properties of two new scales developed to quantitatively measure participants' ownership in exercise classes and empowerment, with respect to exercise. These two outcome measures will compliment Achievement Goal Perspective Theory (AGPT) grounded research to better understand participants'…

Perry, John L.; Nicholls, Adam R.; Clough, Peter J.; Crust, Lee – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2015
Despite the limitations of overgeneralizing cutoff values for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA; e.g., Marsh, Hau, & Wen, 2004), they are still often employed as golden rules for assessing factorial validity in sport and exercise psychology. The purpose of this study was to investigate the appropriateness of using the CFA approach with these…

Carpenter, Laura C.; Tompkins, Sara Anne; Schmiege, Sarah J.; Nilsson, Renea; Bryan, Angela – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2010
Affective responses to physical activity are assumed to play a role in exercise initiation and maintenance. The Physical Activity Affect Scale measures four dimensions of an individual's affective response to exercise. Group differences in the interpretation of scale items can impact the interpretability of mean differences, underscoring the need…
