Abstract

We examined the psychometric properties of the Physical Activity, Nutrition, and Technology (PANT) survey, developed by researchers to track weight management behaviors among youth. Data from 2,039 middle school students (M age = 12.4, SD = .5; 51.4% girls) were analyzed to explore and then confirm the factor structure of the PANT survey. We also examined the bivariate associations between the PANT survey, body mass index (BMI), and the Progressive Aerobic Cardiorespiratory Endurance Run (PACER). Results suggest that the PANT survey is comprised of two factors-Physical Activity and Healthy Choices-each with adequate internal consistency (α = .79 and 0.86, respectively). The Physical Activity subscale appears to be significantly associated with both z-BMI (r = -0.10, p < .001) and the PACER (r = 0.33, p < .001) in the anticipated directions, but the criterion validity of the Healthy Choices subscale is less clear. We discuss these findings and explore future directions for developing meaningful self-report wellness behavior scales for youth.

青少年健康行为评定量表的心理计量特性。

我们研究了体育活动、营养和技术（PANT）调查的心理测量特性，该调查由研究人员开发，旨在跟踪青少年的体重管理行为。我们分析了 2,039 名初中生（中位年龄 = 12.4，标准差 = 0.5；51.4% 为女生）的数据，以探索并确认 PANT 调查的因子结构。我们还研究了 PANT 调查、体重指数（BMI）和渐进有氧心肺耐力跑（PACER）之间的双变量关联。结果表明，PANT 调查由两个因子组成--体育活动和健康选择--每个因子都具有足够的内部一致性（α 分别为 0.79 和 0.86）。体力活动分量表似乎与 z-BMI （r = -0.10，p < .001）和 PACER（r = 0.33，p < .001）在预期方向上有显著关联，但健康选择分量表的标准有效性则不太明确。我们讨论了这些发现，并探讨了为青少年开发有意义的自我报告健康行为量表的未来方向。
