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