Cross-linguistic validity of the French and Dutch versions of the very short form of the physical self-inventory among adolescents

The study tested the cross-linguistic validity of the Very Short form of the Physical Self-Inventory (PSI-VS) among 1,115 Flemish (Dutch version) adolescents, and a comparison sample of 1,103 French adolescents (French version; from Morin & Maïano, 2011). Flemish adolescents also completed a positively worded reformulation of the reverse-keyed item of the physical attractiveness (PA) subscale. Confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) supported the factor validity and reliability (except for the Dutch PA subscale) of the PSI-VS, and its partial measurement invariance across samples. CFA conducted on the modified version of the Dutch PSI-VS (11 original items plus the positively-worded replacement), presented satisfactory reliability (ω = .67-.89), and was fully invariant across sexes, age groups, and body mass index categories. Additionally, results revealed latent mean differences across sexes and body mass index categories. Therefore, the modified Dutch PSI-VS can be used whenever there is a need for a very short physical self-concept questionnaire

Relations entre la qualité des interactions enseignante-enfants et le développement du raisonnement spatial des enfants de maternelle quatre ans à temps plein en milieu défavorisé

The purpose of this article is to examine the predictive role of the quality of teacher-child interactions on the development of spatial reasoning in full-time kindergarten four-year-old children in underprivileged settings. The matched sample is made up, on the one hand, of 232 children (130 girls, 102 boys) aged 58.29 months (SD = 4.93), and eight teachers holding a baccalaureate, having in average 12.2 years of teaching experience in preschool (SD = 5.45). Multiple mixed-effect regression analyzes showed that dimensions and sub dimensions of the quality of teacher-child interactions significantly and positively predicted the subtests of the spatial reasoning. This study highlights the importance of improving the quality of interactions in order to promote the development of spatial reasoning in four-year-olds.Le présent article a pour but d’étudier le rôle prédictif de la qualité des interactions enseignante-enfants sur le développement du raisonnement spatial chez des enfants de la maternelle quatre ans à temps plein en milieu défavorisé. L’échantillon apparié est composé, d’une part, de 232 enfants (130 filles, 102 garçons) âgés de 58,29 mois (ÉT = 4.93) et de 8 enseignantes titulaires d’un baccalauréat en enseignement, ayant en moyenne 12,2 ans d’expérience en enseignement à l’éducation préscolaire (ÉT = 5.45). Des analyses de régressions multiples à effet mixte montrent que les dimensions et sous-dimensions de la qualité des interactions enseignante-enfants prédisent significativement et positivement les sous-tests du raisonnement spatial. Cette étude soulève l’importance d’améliorer la qualité des interactions enseignante-enfants afin de favoriser le développement du raisonnement spatial des enfants de la maternelle quatre ans

Development and initial validation of Sport Experiences Questionnaire (SEQ)

International audienceTo understand sport participation, multiple scales exist to examine why people participate. However, no questionnaires have been devised to assess what sport experiences people declare most pleasurable. This study aimed to develop and provide initial validation of a scale measuring adolescent athletes’ retrospective reports of pleasure in three modern sports experiences: competition, progress, and risk taking. The first study examined the validity of a pool of 25 items. The second study examined the factor structure and reliability of a 14-item questionnaire among a sample of adolescent athletes, the measurement invariance across sexes and context of participation, and the differential item functioning and possible latent mean differences as a function of age. Results showed initial evidence regarding the reliability and validity of the scale. They showed invariance of the model across sexes and context of participation. This questionnaire could be used by sports federations and could help the development of sport promotion programs
