Abstract

FILIPPOU, F et al. Adaption and validity of the "Physical Activity Class Satisfaction Questionnaire" (PACSQ) in Greek educational dancing context. CPD [online]. 2021, vol.21, n.2, pp.13-23.  Epub May 16, 2022. ISSN 1989-5879.

Satisfaction is a contributing factor to increasing participation in sports activities, especially since it is linked to behavioural procedures responsible for causing positive feelings to people involved. The aim of this study was to confirm the "Physical Activity Class Satisfaction Questionnaire” in a Greek educational dancing context. The internal consistency of the questionnaire has also been examined. The sample of the study consisted of 482 participants, 184 male and 298 females. All participants have attended Greek traditional dance courses in dancing associations among Greece. The scale consists of 45 questions which constitute nine factors. The following statistical analyses were carried out: Questionnaire's validity and reliability were examined via an exploratory factor analysis and a confirmatory factor analysis. Reliability analysis was conducted to examine the internal cohesion of the factors. Descriptive statistics have been calculated to broadly examine the degree of satisfaction. Results' analysis arrived at the following conclusion: a. The Greek version of the questionnaire has shown stable stationary psychometric properties, which partially support its use in the Greek dancing context. b. Correlations among subscales indicated a related factor model supporting the construct validity of the scale.
