目标。活动支持量表(ACTS)扩大到非洲裔美国家庭。对非西班牙裔白人和非裔美国人的父母进行了阶乘不变性和内部信度检验。根据来自五个重点小组的信息，对ACRS进行了修改，以提高其对非洲裔美国家庭的适用性，这些小组有27名非洲裔美国人父母的小学适龄儿童。在2006至2008年间，修订后的量表对纽约州东北部和阿拉巴马州119名非洲裔美国人父母和117名非西班牙裔白人父母进行了测试。检验其跨种族/民族的阶乘不变性和内部一致性。对修订后的多群体活动支持量表(ACTS-MG)进行因素分析，确定了白人和非裔美国父母的四个育儿因素，包括后勤支持、建模、利用社区资源促进体育活动(PA)和限制久坐行为。结果支持量表的内部信度和跨种族的因素不变性。ACTS-MG适合用于非西班牙裔白人和非裔美国家庭，并将使目前对白人家庭的研究扩展到检查非裔美国家庭支持PA的策略。鼓励与ACTS-MG进行额外的心理测量工作。(C)2010 Elsevier Inc.保留所有权利。
Objectives. The Activity Support Scale (ACTS) was expanded for use with African American families. Its factorial invariance and internal reliability were examined for non-Hispanic white and African American parents.Methods. The Acrs was modified to improve its applicability to African American families based on information from five focus groups with 27 African American parents of elementary school-aged children. Between 2006 and 2008, the revised scale was administered to 119 African American and 117 non-Hispanic white parents in northeastern NY and Alabama. Its factorial invariance across race/ethnicity and internal consistency were examined.Results. Factor analysis of the revised scale, the Activity Support Scale for Multiple Groups (ACTS-MG), identified four parenting factors in white and African American parents including logistic support, modeling, use of community resources to promote physical activity (PA), and restriction of sedentary behaviors. Results supported the scale's internal reliability and factorial invariance across race/ethnicity.Conclusion. The ACTS-MG is appropriate for use with non-Hispanic white and African American families and will enable the extension of current research with white families to the examination of strategies supporting PA in African American families. Additional psychometric work with the ACTS-MG is encouraged. (c) 2010 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.
