Abstract
Results
Through expert review and cognitive testing, the scales were adapted for use with young, school-aged children (ages 7–9).
This article describes how the measures were adapted to insure comprehension of the child self-report measures. Reliability
analyses provide support for their use in this population [Cronbach’s alpha = 0.76 for the self-efficacy scale; moderate correlation
between parent report and child report of child physical activity over the past week (rho = 0.52, P < 0.01].
