  • Pictorial Scale of Perceived Physical Self-Concept for Young Children (P-PSC-C)

     

    The Pictorial Scale of Perceived Physical Self-Concept for Young Children (P-PSC-C) is a version of the Physical Self-Description Questionnaire for Children (PSC-C; Dreiskämper et al., 2015) extended by illustrations for an age-based measuring of elementary school children’s physical self-concept. The PSC-C is in turn based on the Physical Self-Description Questionnaire (PSDQ; Marsh et al., 1994), which was developed for assessing adolescents’ and adults’ physical self-concept, and adapted on the elementary school-age. There is a total of seven subscales (endurance, flexibility, strength, coordination, velocity, sport competence, appearance), each consisting of three items. The item verbalizations were taken over from the PSC-C, extended by illustrations, and can be answered on a 4-point-scale: For each item, the children are shown a figure achieving a high score on the item (3 or 4) as well as a figure achieving a low score (1 or 2). After verbally specifying with which figure they can identify more strongly, the children are supposed to further differentiate their score (decision between 1 and 2 or 3 and 4, depending on chosen figure). The illustrated figures are adapted on the children’s sex. This questionnaire is available in german and english.

  • Questionnaire for measuring the physical self-concept in childhood (PSK-K)

    The questionnaire for measuring the physical self-concept in childhood (PSK-K) is based on the Physical Self-Description Questionnaire (PSDQ; Marsh et al., 1994) and adapted on the elementary school-age. There is a total of seven subscales (endurance, flexibility, strength, coordination, velocity, sport competence, appearance), each consisting of three items. This instrument is validated for middle to later childhood (8-12 years) and is available in german.

  • Perceived-Motor-Competence Questionnaire for Children (PMC-C)

     

    The Perceived-Motor-Competence Questionnaire for Children (PMC-C) assesses children’s self-perceptions of fundamental movement skills by the following scales: locomotion (subscales: running, hopping, standing broad jump, leaping) and object-control (subscales: kicking, bouncing, overhand throw, catching). The instrument consists of 24 items, being answered on a pictorial scale. It was developed in order to examine the skill-oriented physical self-concept in the middle and later childhood. The questionnaire is available in german.

  • Reversed Short Physical Self Inventory (PSI-S-R)

    The PSI-S was originally created in French as an adaptation of Fox and Corbin’s (1989) Physical Self-Perception Profile. This questionnaire included a total of 18 items (3 per dimension) encompassing youth’s global self-worth (GSW), physical self-worth (PSW), physical attractiveness (PA), physical condition (PC), physical strength (PS), and sport competence (SC). The questionnaire is validated in German for the age group 10 - 14 years.
