Abstract

Purpose

Although the fitness switching costs scale (FSCS) was shown to have sound psychometric properties, the length of the 54-item may impose burdens on survey participants and present methodological and analytic challenges for researchers and practitioners. Therefore, the present study shortened and validated two versions of the FSCS, namely the 33-item FSCS (FSCS-33) and the 11-item FSCS (FSCS-11).

Design/methodology/approach

In Study 1 (n = 411), the most useful items from the FSCS for the FSCS-33 and FSCS-11 were identified using item response theory (IRT). Study 2 (n = 391) and Study 3 (n = 400) assessed the psychometric properties of the FSCS-33 and FSCS-11, respectively, using partial least squares structural equation modeling.

Findings

The FSCS-33 and FSCS-11 demonstrated strong reliability and validity in assessing switching costs in fitness centers.

Originality/value

The psychometrically sound short-form scales provide researchers and practitioners with convenient and accurate means of measuring switching costs in fitness centers.

验证健身转换成本标度的两个缩短版本
目的 虽然健身转换成本量表(FSCS)已被证明具有良好的心理测量特性,但 54 个项目的长度可能会给调查参与者造成负担,并给研究人员和从业人员带来方法学和分析方面的挑战。因此,本研究缩短并验证了两个版本的 FSCS,即 33 个项目的 FSCS(FSCS-33)和 11 个项目的 FSCS(FSCS-11)。在研究 1(n = 411)中,使用项目反应理论(IRT)确定了 FSCS-33 和 FSCS-11 中最有用的项目。研究 2(n = 391)和研究 3(n = 400)使用偏最小二乘结构方程模型分别评估了 FSCS-33 和 FSCS-11 的心理测量特性。原创性/价值心理测量学上可靠的短式量表为研究人员和从业人员提供了测量健身中心转换成本的便捷而准确的方法。
