Validation of the Decisional Balance Scales in the Exercise Domain From the Transtheoretical Model: A Longitudinal Test

Validation of the Decisional Balance Scales in the Exercise Domain From the Transtheoretical... This study examined the validity and reliability of decisional balance scales for exercise (i.e., pros and cons) in a large longitudinal population-based randomized sample of Canadian adults ages 18 to 65 years (N = 703). Assessments were taken over 3 time points with 6-month intervals between testing. Content, factorial, concurrent, and construct validity along with internal consistency and test-retest reliability were established for the decisional balance scales. The developed measures have utility for researchers and practitioners who test and apply the exercise decisional balance constructs of the Transtheoretical Model. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science Taylor & Francis
