Preschooler Gross Motor Quality Scale (PGMQ) was recently developed to evaluate motor skill quality of preschoolers. The purpose of this study was to establish the concurrent validity of PGMQ using Test of Gross Motor Development-2 (TGMD-2) as the gold standard. One hundred and thirty five preschool children aged from three to six years were recruited from three kindergartens in central Taiwan. Two independent evaluators who were unaware of each other's results evaluated all the children separately in their kindergartens using standardized setting and procedures. Concurrent validity was examined using correlation analysis with Pearson-Production Moment correlation coefficient. The results show that the total scores (r = .86, p < .001) and subscale total scores (r = .82 for locomotion, r = .76 for object manipulation, p < .001) of the two tests correlated well. Analysis of similar items in the locomotion subscale found significant but weak correlations in the running, jumping and galloping items of the two tests (r = .23-.25, p < .001). There were moderate to high correlations in hopping, sliding and leaping between the two tests (r = .52-.70, p < .001). Low to moderate correlations (r = .37-.54, p < .001) were found between the similar items in the object manipulation subscale of PGMQ and TGMD-2. Total scores of TGMD-2 also showed a high relation between the sum of the locomotion and object manipulation scores of PGMQ (r = .83, p < .001). The total scores of similar items in the locomotion subscale of PGMQ and TGMD-2 showed a similar high relation (r = .79, p < .001) likewise in the object manipulation subscale (r = .75, p < .001) The PGMQ proved to have adequate concurrent validity with TGMD-2.
幼儿粗大运动质量量表 (PGMQ) 最近被开发出来，用于评估幼儿的运动技能质量。本研究的目的是使用 TGMD-2 作为金标准，建立 PGMQ 的同时效度。从台湾中部的三所幼儿园招募了 135 名 3 至 6 岁的学龄前儿童。两名独立的评估者在幼儿园使用标准化的设置和程序，分别对所有儿童进行单独评估，他们彼此不知道对方的结果。使用 Pearson 积矩相关系数进行相关性分析来检验同时效度。结果表明，两个测试的总分（r =.86，p <.001）和分量表总分（r =.82 用于运动，r =.76 用于物体操作，p <.001）相关性良好。在运动分量表的相似项目分析中，发现两个测试的跑步、跳跃和疾驰项目之间存在显著但较弱的相关性（r =.23-.25，p <.001）。两个测试之间的跳跃、滑行和跳跃项目之间存在中等至高的相关性（r =.52-.70，p <.001）。在 PGMQ 和 TGMD-2 的物体操作分量表的相似项目之间发现了低至中等的相关性（r =.37-.54，p <.001）。PGMQ 的 TGMD-2 总分与 PGMQ 的运动和物体操作得分总和之间也显示出高度的关系（r =.83，p <.001）。PGMQ 运动分量表的相似项目总分与 TGMD-2 具有相似的高度相关性（r =.79，p <.001），物体操作分量表也具有相似的高度相关性（r =.75，p <.001）。PGMQ 与 TGMD-2 具有足够的同时效度。
