In this study, we examined the psychometric properties of a French version of the Perceived Motor Competence in Childhood (PMC-C) questionnaire. The participants were 219 French-speaking children (aged 5-12 years), recruited from elementary schools in the Canadian Province of Quebec. Results supported the validity and reliability of a second-order confirmatory factor analytic (CFA) model, including one higher-order factor. Additional analyses supported the complete measurement invariance of the first- and second-order factor structure across sex and indicated no differential item functioning or latent mean differences in PMC-C factors as a function of selected predictors (i.e., age, body mass-index and physical activity/sport involvement). Thus, this French version of the PMC-C has satisfactory psychometric properties (i.e., factor validity and reliability, measurement invariance and differential item functioning) and can be used to assess French-speaking children's perceived motor competence.
在这项研究中，我们检验了儿童感知运动能力问卷（PMC-C）法的法语版本的心理测量特性。参与者为 219 名说法语的儿童（年龄为 5-12 岁），他们来自加拿大魁北克省的小学。结果支持二阶验证性因素分析（CFA）模型的有效性和可靠性，包括一个高阶因素。进一步的分析支持第一和二阶因子结构在性别上的完全测量不变性，并表明在 PMC-C 因素方面，没有差异项目功能或潜在均值差异，作为选定预测因子（即年龄、体重指数和体育活动/运动参与）的函数。因此，该 PMC-C 的法语版本具有令人满意的心理测量特性（即因子有效性和可靠性、测量不变性和差异项目功能），可用于评估讲法语儿童的感知运动能力。
