Abstract:
The purpose of the current study was to develop an instrument, the Children's Active Play Imagery Questionnaire (CAPIQ), to assess imagery use during children's (7-14 years) active play. Phase 1 involved an assessment of content validity using experts (N = 7), while Phase 2 assessed the factorial validity of the CAPIQ using a sample of children (N = 302). Phase 3 contributed to the factorial validity of the CAPIQ by utilising confirmatory factor analysis among an independent sample of children (N = 252). The final version of the CAPIQ consists of 11 items across three factors: fun, social and capability. Further use of the CAPIQ will aid in identifying types of imagery used among children (7-14 years) in their active play, which may contribute to physical activity interventions.
