Psychometric Properties of the Turkish Version of the Pictorial Scale of Perceived Movement Skill Competence for Turkish Young Children
Journal of Motor Learning and Development, v12 n3 p517-533 2024
The aim of this study was to determine the psychometric properties of the pictorial scale of Perceived Movement Skill Competence for Turkish children. A total of 255 children aged 5--10 years (131 girls and 124 boys) participated in this study. One week later, a random subsample (n = 40) was implemented the scale again for test--retest reliability. We conducted confirmatory factor analysis to test the construct validity of the Turkish version of the scale and calculated the omega (?) internal consistency and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICCs) to ascertain reliabilities of the subscales. The confirmatory factor analysis showed good fit index values for the model with 13 items indicating a similar factor structure to the original scale's two-factor structure (X[superscript 2]/df = 1.56; root mean square error of approximation = .048; Tucker--Lewis index = .97; comparative-fit index = .97). The test--retest reliabilities were excellent for the perceived locomotor (ICC = .95) and object control (ICC = .93) skills. An adequate internal consistency coefficient was found for locomotor ([omega] = 0.69) and object control (? = 0.82) skills. Subsequent analyses supported the construct, metric, partial scalar and strict invariance of responses to the scale as a function of sex. Overall, the pictorial scale of Perceived Movement Skill Competence has acceptable psychometric properties and can be confidently used in research or practice to assess Turkish children's perceived movement skill competence.
