Assessment in sport and exercise psychology: considerations and recommendations for translation and validation of questionnaires
Translating and validating measurement instruments in sport and exercise psychology
is not an easy task. Rather, it is a task that requires effort and time, for the process
is not limited to a simple translation to translate words from one language to another,
just in order to make valid and reliable measure. All researchers should be aware that
the only proper way is to adopt rigorous and robust methodologies to conduct the
process from the preliminary stage of translation to reaching the validation stage of the
psychological variable. Only so is it possible to avoid creating fragile and inadequate
psychological assessment instruments that can jeopardize the entire investigation to be
held with its use. Thus, the main objective of this work is to promote reflection and
discussion on the subject by presenting some considerations and recommendations
about translation and validation of questionnaires for psychological assessment applied

The dualistic model of passion in adapted sport: a double-serial mediation analysis on satisfaction with life
Adapted sports practice has increased in recent years, and has now put an additional demand on research to further explore and understand the characteristics of this field of practice. The main aim of this study was to examine the serial mediation effects of motivation and affective activation in relationships between passion and satisfaction with life in adapted sports athletes. The study sample comprised 143 adapted sports athletes (male = 107) aged between 15 and 59 years (M = 29.21; SD = 10.45) enrolled in distinct modalities. Double serial mediation models were developed according to hypothetical associations, and were analyzed using PROCESS macro v. 3.3. In both models, no direct effect between the types of passion and satisfaction with life emerged.
However, positive indirect effects through self-determined motivation have emerged in the harmonious and obsessive passion models, as for a distinct and positive effect of relatedness in satisfaction with lifeinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
Preference for and tolerance of exercise intensity: the mediating role of Vitality in Exercise Habit
The aim of the current exploratory study was to test the mediation role of subjective vitality in the relation between the intensity-traits and exercise habit, thus helping to understand the role of preference and tolerance in well-being and behavioral outcomes. The sample comprised 299 gym exercisers (39% men) with an average age of 36.4 years (SD = 10.61). In general, the present sample of exercisers manifested a preference and tolerance for moderate intensity exercises/activities. The intensity traits were positively associated with subjective vitality and exercise habit, and vitality partially mediated both models. Globally, the intensity-traits presented small to moderate effects in the tested variables. Both preference and tolerance presented positive associations with vitality and habit in the present study and results depict some preliminary evidence that the intensity-traits related to exercise may be relevant for health club professionals adjust their intervention aiming to promote a better subjective experience and exercise adherence.info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersio
