| Abstract | Introduction: This study investigated the reliability and validity of the Physical Activity Self-Efficacy Scale (PASES) in Turkish children. Material and Methods: Analyzed were internal reliability among 437 children in the 4th -8th grades and test-retest stability among 69 children. The PASES consists of 5 items regarding physical activity selfefficacy. Content validity, construct validity, internal consistency and stability reliability of the PASES were assessed. Results: Item-total correlations were found to be 0.50-0.70 and at a statistically significant level (p < 0.001). Results of the exploratory factor analysis established that the scale had a one-factor construct in this student population. The Cronbach’s Alpha and the Split-Half Reliability Coefficient were found to be 0.65 and 0.67 respectively. Test–retest results showed stability for PASES. Conclusions: The validity of the PASES was found to be high from the point of view of content and criteria, while the reliability was found to be moderate. The scale can be used to determine the physical activity self-efficacy levels of literate primary school students.. |
