This study sought to determine the reliability and validity of the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES) in elementary school children. The sample consisted of 564 3rd grade students (M age = 8.72 +/- .54; 268 male, 296 female) surveyed at the beginning of the fall semester. Results indicated that the PACES displayed good internal consistency and item-total correlations. Confirmatory factor analyses supported a unidimensional factor structure. Scores on the PACES were significantly correlated with task goal orientation (r = .65, p < .01), athletic competence (r = .23, p < .01), physical appearance (r = .20, p < .01), and self-reported physical activity (r = .16, p < .01). However, results of invariance analysis suggested the factor structure is variant across sex. The present findings suggest support for the validity of the PACES as a valid measure of enjoyment of physical activity in children; nevertheless, further research examining the invariance of the factor structure across sex is warranted.
本研究旨在确定小学生体育活动愉悦感量表(PACES)的信度和效度。样本包括564名三年级学生(平均年龄=8.72±0.54;男268名,女296名),于秋季学期开始时进行调查。结果表明,PACES显示出良好的内部一致性和项目-总分相关性。验证性因素分析支持单维因素结构。PACES得分与任务目标导向(r = 0.65,p < 0.01)、运动能力(r = 0.23,p < 0.01)、外貌(r = 0.20,p < 0.01)以及自我报告的体育活动(r = 0.16,p < 0.01)显著相关。然而,不变性分析结果表明因素结构在性别间存在差异。本研究结果支持PACES作为衡量儿童体育活动愉悦感的有效指标的效度;尽管如此,仍有必要进一步研究因素结构在性别间的不变性。
