چکیده
1 2 3 Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to extend the validation of the Profile of Mood States-Adolescents (POMS-A: Terry, P. C., Lane, A. M., Lane, H. J., & Keohane, L. (1999). Development and validation of a mood measure for adolescents. Journal of 4 Sports Sciences, 17, 861-872) from adolescent to adult populations. 5 6 7 8 Design: A strategy of assessing the invariance of the POMS-A factor structure among disparate samples and of testing relationships with concurrent measures was used. Methods: The POMS-A was administered to 2,549 participants from four samples: Adult athletes prior to competition (n = 621), adult student athletes in a classroom (n = 656), adolescent athletes prior to competition ( 9 n = 676), and adolescent students in a classroom ( 10 n = 596). A subset of 382 adult student athletes was used to test the criterion validity of the POMS-A. 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 Results: Confirmatory factor analysis provided support for the factorial validity of a 24item, six-factor model using both independent and multi-sample analyses. Relationships between POMS-A scores and previously validated measures, that were consistent with theoretical predictions, supported criterion validity. Conclusion: Supporting evidence was found that the psychometric integrity of the POMS-A extended from adolescent to adult populations.

متن کاملDeveloping Persian version of Sensory Gating Inventory (SGI): Validity and Reliability
Introduction: Sensory Gating Inventory (SGI) measures behavioral aspects of Sensory Gating (SG). It is a filtering mechanism of brain that prevents irrelevant sensory inputs from entering into higher cortex information processing. It modifies sensitivity to sensory stimuli. Abnormal SG leads to overloading of information into cortex and brain dysfunction. Electrophysiological techniques cannot ...

Construct Validity of Dichotomous and Polychotomous Choice Contingent Valuation Questions* Running Head: Validity of DC and PC Contingent Valuation
In this note we conduct construct validity tests for dichotomous choice (DC) and polychotomous choice (PC) contingent valuation questions. Contrary to previous results, we find that DC and PC estimates of willingness to pay are theoretically valid, convergent valid, and similar in terms of statistical precision. Similar to previous results, PC respondents are less sensitive to information than ...
