Measuring Perceived Benefits and Perceived Barriers for Physical Activity
Copyright policy )Measuring Perceived Benefits and Perceived Barriers for Physical Activity
To evaluate the psychometric properties and relationship to physical activity levels of the Exercise Benefits/Barriers Scale (EBBS) among college students.A total of 398 college students completed the EBBS and a measure of self-efficacy, the Physical Exercise Self-Efficacy Scale. In addition, a subsample of 275 students also completed a semistructured interview on physical activity, the Seven-day Physical Activity Recall.Psychometric properties were acceptable, but only benefits significantly accounted for variance in physical activity levels.Surprisingly, the factorial structure differed from the test developers'.
