- This study examines the factorial validity, factorial invariance across gender, and construct validity of a Swedish version of the Self-Presentation in Exercise Questionnaire (SPEQ; Conroy, Motl, & Hall, 2000). The a priori two-factor 14-item, 11-item, and 9-item models fail to reach acceptable levels of fit in a calibration sample. A modified 8-item model demonstrates acceptable fit and loose and partial cross-validity on a second independent sample. The factorial structure is invariant across gender. Men depict higher latent mean scores on both SPEQ factors of Impression Motivation and Impression Construction. Different patterns for men and women in the relation between SPEQ factors and exercise identity, social physique anxiety, and exercise participation are detected. Psychometric weaknesses in reliability and content validity from a cultural equivalence perspective are discussed.

Tidskriftsartikel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- Stefan Söderfjälls artikel i Svensk Idrottsforskning nr 1/ 2005 lyfter många intressanta och relevanta frågor kopplat till den tillämpade delen av idrottspsykologin, t ex mental träning och rådgivning. Söderfjells kritiska analys av tekniker inom mental träning, deras effektivitet, använd- ning och användare utgör ett sunt och välkommet bidrag till den tillämpade idrottspsykologins utveckling. Dock, om den relevanta bild som målas upp breddas och nyanseras ytterligare tror vi att resonemanget kan tillföra ännu mer i form av kunskap till fältet. Syftet med denna artikel är alltså att komplettera Söderfjells artikel med ett perspektiv som baseras i bryggan mellan teori och praktik.

- Objectives:To examine the effects of a 6-month exercise intervention programme (EIP) on physical self-perceptions (PSP) and social physique anxiety (SPA) of non-physically active adolescent Swedish girls.Methods:A true experimental design with randomization into an intervention or control group was used. The empowerment based EIP, offered to the intervention group twice a week for 6 months, consisted of 45-min exercise sessions followed by 15 min of discussions regarding a healthy lifestyle. A variety of exercise activities, chosen by the participants themselves, were used. Twenty-seven participants in the intervention group and 35 in the control group completed the Physical Self-Perception Profile (PSPP) and the Social Physique Anxiety Scale (SPAS) at pre- and posttest and, in addition, physical fitness, weight and height were measured.Results and conclusions:The intent to treat analysis showed no significant improvements in PSPP subdomains, but lower SPAS scores for the intervention group, compared to the control group. However, when using a less conservative analysis, including only those who completed assessments both pre- and post-intervention, the intervention significantly reduced both PSPP subdomain and SPAS scores. The changes in PSPP and SPAS scores were not linked to changes in physiological variables. The results are put in the context of previous longitudinal and review studies, theoretical frameworks and models. The direction of effects, possible mechanisms and limitations of the study are discussed along with practical applications linked to exercise and modern diseases.
