在评估身体活动与各种健康结果之间的关系时，与身体活动自我报告的有效性和可靠性相关的问题是一个重要的考虑因素，这是流行病学家感兴趣的。本文探讨了将调查方法程序纳入旨在获得身体活动自我报告信息的工具的开发、改进和管理的案例。在此过程中，我们提出了一种问题分析方法，使研究人员能够识别问题的潜在认知困难，然后确定提高数据质量的可能方法，这些方法已经成功地提高了其他领域调查工具的有效性。在此过程中，我们回顾了认知心理学中致力于自传式记忆的部分文献，并讨论了从本研究中出现的方法，这些方法增强了在各种健康相关领域获得的数据的总体有效性和可靠性。我们还说明了将这些方法纳入现有体育活动调查的方法。
Issues related to the validity and reliability of self-reports of physical activity are an important consideration in assessing the relation between physical activity and various health outcomes that are of interest to epidemiologists. This paper examines the case for incorporating survey methods procedures into the development, refinement, and administration of instruments designed to obtain self-report information on physical activity. In doing so, we present a method of question analysis that enables researchers to identify potential cognitive difficulties with a question and then identify possible methods for improving data quality that have successfully improved the validity of survey instruments in other areas. In doing this, we review portions of the literature in cognitive psychology devoted to autobiographical memory and discuss methods that have emerged from this research that enhance the overall validity and reliability of the data obtained in a variety of health-related areas. We also illustrate ways in which these methods can be incorporated into existing physical activity surveys.
