This study adapted the Questionnaire Assessing School Physical Activity Environment (Q-SPACE) into Chinese and evaluated its psychometric properties.
A total of 253 primary school and 267 secondary school students completed the modified Q-SPACE-Chi twice, with a 2-week interval, between November 2022 and March 2023. A confirmatory factor analysis and the assessment of measurement invariance supported the efficiency of the three-factor Q-SPACE-Chi (i.e., physical environment, social environment, and school policy) across various groups.
The results confirmed the factorial validity of the three-factor modified A-SPACE-Chi, with all items demonstrating significant loadings in the physical environment, special environment, and social policy dimensions. The predictive validity results revealed significant associations between student's perceived school physical activity environment and the physical activity level. Moreover, the test-retest reliability and internal consistency of the adapted questionnaire were moderately favorable.
This modified Q-SPACE-Chi, with element of school policy therefore presents an additional valuable tool for researchers or practitioners aiming to evaluate how Chinese students perceive the school physical activity environments within their schools while the measurement properties of Q-SPACE-Chi was invariant among primary and secondary students.
本研究将《学校体育活动环境评估问卷》（Q-SPACE）改编为中文版本，并评估其心理测量特性。
在2022年11月至2023年3月期间，共有253名小学生和267名中学生分两次完成了修订后的《中文版Q-SPACE》，两次测试间隔为2周。验证性因素分析和测量不变性评估支持了三因素《中文版Q-SPACE》（即物理环境、社会环境和学校政策）在不同群体中的有效性。
结果证实了三因素修订版《中文版Q-SPACE》的因子效度，所有项目在物理环境、特殊环境和社会政策维度上均显示出显著载荷。预测效度结果显示，学生对学校体育活动环境的感知与体育活动水平之间存在显著关联。此外，改编后问卷的重测信度和内部一致性表现适中。
这个包含学校政策因素的修订版《中文版Q-SPACE》，为研究人员或从业者提供了一个额外的有价值工具，用于评估中国学生如何看待他们学校的体育活动环境，同时《中文版Q-SPACE》的测量特性在中小学生中具有不变性。
