Rhodes, Ryan E.; Matheson, Deborah Hunt; Mark, Rachel – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2010
The purpose of this study was to compare the reliability, variability, and predictive validity of two common scaling response formats (semantic differential, Likert-type) and two numbers of response options (5-point, 7-point) in the physical activity domain. Constructs of the theory of planned behavior were chosen in this analysis based on its…
