Social support is a crucial factor that can facilitate regular engagement in physical activity. To assess the influence of social factors on the level of regular physical activity, the Physical Activity and Social Support Scale (PASSS) has been developed. However, the PASSS has yet to be validated in a Chinese sample of established adults. To address this gap in the literature, this study describes the development and psychometric evaluation of a Chinese version of the PASSS (PASSS-C) for established adults. PASSS-C was validated for a Chinese sample of adults aged between 30 and 45 years old (N = 1799). Structural validity was evaluated using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) with Maximum Likelihood Method (MLM). Spearman's correlations between the PASSS-C and the International Physical Activity Questionnaire - Short Form (IPAQ-SF), the Social Support Rating Scale - Chinses Version (SSRS-C), and the Affective Exercise Experience Scale - Chinese Version (AFFEXX-C) were determined to examine the criterion validity. Cronbach's alpha coefficients and McDonald's omega coefficients were used to assess the internal consistency of the total scale and sub-scales of the PASSS-C. The results of the CFA suggest that the five-factor model had an acceptable fit (CFI = 0.99, GFI = 0.99, SRMR = 0.01, RMSEA = 0.02). Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's omega for the PASSS-C and its sub-scales ranged from 0.81 to 0.96. The results indicate that the PASSS-C has acceptable psychometric properties. Thus, the scale can be used to assess the levels of social support for physical activity in Chinese established adults.
社会支持是促进经常参与体育活动的一个关键因素。为了评估社会因素对经常体育活动水平的影响，开发了体育活动和社会支持量表（PASSS）。然而，PASSS 尚未在已建立的中国成年人样本中进行验证。为了解决文献中的这一空白，本研究描述了适用于已建立的中国成年人的 PASSS 中文版（PASSS-C）的开发和心理测量评估。PASSS-C 针对年龄在 30 至 45 岁之间的中国成年人样本进行了验证（N=1799）。使用最大似然法（MLM）进行验证性因素分析（CFA）来评估结构有效性。PASSS-C 与国际体力活动问卷-短表（IPAQ-SF）、社会支持评定量表-中文版（SSRS-C）和情感运动体验量表-中文版（AFFEXX-C）之间的 Spearman 相关系数，以检验效标效度。采用 Cronbach's alpha 系数和 McDonald's omega 系数评估 PASSS-C 总分和分量表的内部一致性。CFA 的结果表明，五因素模型具有可接受的拟合度（CFI=0.99，GFI=0.99，SRMR=0.01，RMSEA=0.02）。PASSS-C 及其分量表的 Cronbach's alpha 和 McDonald's omega 值范围为 0.81 至 0.96。结果表明，PASSS-C 具有可接受的心理测量特性。因此，该量表可用于评估中国已建立成年人的体育活动社会支持水平。
