背景：方法：结果：结论：享受被认为是青少年体育活动的一个决定因素，但由于使用了未经充分验证的措施，对其重要性的理解受到限制。本研究检验了：(1)体育活动享受量表（pace）的析因效度，(2)体育活动享受量表得分的结构效度。方法：随机选取899个校正样本和898个交叉验证样本的青春期女孩（N=1797）完成体育活动享受量表和体育活动享受、体育参与的影响因素测量。采用探索性因素分析和验证性因素分析对pace的析因效度和影响体育享受的因素测量进行检验。采用结构方程模型对测量之间的假设关系进行检验。结果：在标定样本和交叉验证样本中，单维模型拟合了pace和影响体育享受因素的测度。pace与影响体育教育、体育活动和体育参与的因素之间的假设关系在整个样本中都得到了支持，在非裔美国女孩和白人女孩中是相似的，并且独立于身体健康。结论：析因效度和结构效度的趋同证据表明，pace是衡量青春期女孩体育活动享受程度的有效指标，适合作为旨在增加体育活动的干预措施的中介变量。
Background: Methods: Results: Conclusions: Enjoyment has been implicated as a determinant of physical activity among youth, but advances in understanding its importance have been limited by the use of measures that were not adequately validated. The present study examined: (1) the factorial validity of the Physical Activity Enjoyment Scale (PACES), and (2) the construct validity of PACES scores,Methods: Adolescent girls (N=1797), who were randomly assigned to calibration (n=899) and cross-validation (n=898) samples, completed the PACES and measures of factors influencing enjoyment of physical education, physical activity, and sport involvement. The factorial validity of the PACES and the measure of factors influencing enjoyment physical education was tested using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. The hypothesized relationships among the measures were tested using structure al equation modeling.Results: Unidimensional models fit the PACES and the measure of factors influencing enjoyment of physical education in the calibration and cross-validation samples. The hypothesized relationships between the PACES and the measures of factors influencing enjoyment of physical education, physical activity, and sport involvement were supported in the entire sample, were similar in African-American and Caucasian girls, and were indepenent of physical fitness.Conclusions: Evidence of factorial validity and convergent evidence for construct validity indicate that the PACES is a valid measure of physical activity enjoyment among adolescent girls, suitable for use as a mediator variable in interventions designed to increase physical activity.
