Journal Title: Bezmiâlem Science - Year 2020, Vol 8, Issue 4

Abstract

Objective: Purpose of this study is to determine validity and reliability of the Physical Activity Self-efficacy scale for Turkish children (PASSC). Methods: The study was conducted as a methodological epidemiological study in the province of Ankara. The study aimed to reach all fourth grades (9-11 years) in the selected six schools (n=641). Six hundred and seven students participated in the first stage of the study and 499 students in the second (test-retest) which was carried out two weeks later. In the study, personal information form and data collection tool including PASSC were used. The data were analyzed using SPSS 18 and AMOS programmes. Results: Among the children who participated in the first stage of the study; 53.0% were male and 36.2% were from schools with low socioeconomic level . Results from the confirmatory factor analysis for boys showed: p<0.001, χ²/sd=2.6, RMSEA=0.07 and GFI=0.95, and for girls: p<0.001, χ²/SD =2.4, RMSEA=0.07 and GFI =0.95. The Cronbach’s alpha value was determined as 0.84 for boys and 0.81 for girls in the validity and reliability analyzes for the PASSC. The analyzes which were performed for boys and girls seperately led to a model consisting of a single factor with no modification requirement. Conclusion: The PASSC which was adapted into Turkish for boys and girls was a valid and reliable assessment tool.
