Examining the psychometric properties of the digital scale of perceived motor competence in young children

This study examined the psychometric properties (i.e., reliability and validity) of Digital Scale Perceived Motor Competence (DSPMC) in preschool-aged children. One hundred eighteen children (Mage = 4.5) completed Study 1 on internal consistency test-retest reliability, 87 2 construct validity. results support that DSPMC demonstrates an acceptable at both initial (α 0.78) retest 0.75) good (ICC 0.84; 95% CI 0.76–0.89). demonstrate is significantly correlated to two other measures perceived competence (rrange 0.25–0.39) all actual motor skill subscales 0.23–0.39). These a valid reliable tool measure young
