Abstract

Objective

The objective of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of a French version of the pictorial scale of Perceived Movement Skill Competence for Young Children (PMSC), which is aligned with the third version of the Test of Gross Motor Development.

Method

A sample of 219 French-speaking Canadian children (5 to 12 years old) participated in this study.

Results

Results supported the factor validity and reliability of a 13-item version of the PMSC encompassing two factors (i.e., ball skills and locomotor skills). Subsequent analyses supported the weak, partial strong, and partial strict invariance of responses to the PMSC as a function of sex. Additionally, analyses revealed that boys displayed significantly higher perceived ball skill competence than girls. Results also supported a lack of differential item functioning (DIF) and latent mean differences as a function of body mass index and physical activity/sport involvement, but revealed evidence of DIF and latent mean differences as a function of age. More precisely, these results show that older children displayed significantly: (a) higher scores on the sliding item and lower scores on the kicking item relative to younger children; and (b) lower scores on perceived locomotor skills competence than younger children.

Conclusion

Overall, results suggest that the French version of the PMSC has acceptable psychometric properties and can be confidently used in research or practice to assess children's perceived movement skill competence.

幼儿感知运动技能能力图式量表(PMSC)法语版的心理测量特征

目的本研究的目的是检验法语版幼儿感知运动技能能力图形量表(PMSC)的心理测量特性，该量表与第三版大肌肉运动发展测试相一致。方法选取219名加拿大法语儿童(5 ~ 12岁)作为研究对象。结果包含球技能和运动技能两个因素的13项PMSC量表的因子效度和信度得到了支持。随后的分析支持了PMSC反应的弱、部分强和部分严格不变性作为性别的函数。此外，分析显示，男孩表现出明显高于女孩的球技能力。结果还支持差异项目功能(DIF)和潜在平均差异作为体重指数和身体活动/运动参与的函数的缺失，但显示了DIF和潜在平均差异作为年龄函数的证据。更准确地说，这些结果表明，年龄较大的儿童表现出显著的:(a)相对于年龄较小的儿童，滑行项目得分较高，踢腿项目得分较低;(b)感知运动技能能力得分低于幼儿。结论法语版PMSC具有良好的心理测量特性，可用于儿童感知运动技能能力的研究和实践。
