Abstract
ABSTRACT The present study sought to examine the psychometric properties of the French and German versions of the Physical Self-Concept Questionnaire for Elementary School Children – Revised (PSCQ-C-R). A sample of 519 children participated in this study. Of those, 197 were French-Canadian and 322 were German. Results support the factor validity and reliability of PSCQ-C-R across the overall sample and the French-Canadian and German samples. Subsequent analyses not only supported the weak, partial strong, and strict invariance of the PSCQ-C-R across samples, but also showed significant latent mean differences across samples. Moreover, analyses revealed a lack of differential item functioning as a function of age, body mass index, and sex between samples, as well as latent mean differences (that were invariant between samples) as a function of children’s age, body mass index, and sex. Finally, analyses confirmed the measurement invariance of the PSCQ-C-R over a nine-month period in the German sample.
期刊介绍:
The scope of Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science (MPEES) covers original measurement research, special issues, and tutorials within six substantive disciplines of physical education and exercise science. Six of the seven sections of MPEES define the substantive disciplines within the purview of the original research to be published in the journal: Exercise Science, Physical Activity, Physical Education Pedagogy, Psychology, Research Methodology and Statistics, and Sport Management and Administration. The seventh section of MPEES, Tutorial and Teacher’s Toolbox, serves to provide an outlet for review and/or didactic manuscripts to be published in the journal. Special issues provide an avenue for a coherent set of manuscripts (e.g., four to five) to collectively focus in-depth on an important and timely measurement-related issue within the scope of MPEES. The primary aim of MPEES is to publish high-impact manuscripts, most of which will focus on original research, that fit within the scope of the journal.
