Young Children (PMSC) in Greek and assess its reliability and face, construct and concurrent
validity in 5-9 year-old Greek children. Face validity was conducted with 20 children, whereas
a larger sample (N=227) was used to examine construct validity. Two subsamples (n=38;
n=142) were used to investigate PMSC-GR test-retest reliability and concurrent validity with
the Pictorial Scale of Perceived Competence and Acceptance for Young Children (PSPCSA)-
physical competence subscale (PCS), respectively. The panel of experts confirmed the clarity
and concept integrity of the Greek version. Temporal stability was confirmed for PMSC-GR
total score and both Locomotor (LOC) (ICC .80, 95% CI .62, .89) and Object Control (OC)
(ICC .91, 95% CI .82, .95) subscales. Appropriate internal consistency was found for the total
score as well as for the LOC and OC scores (polychoric correlations: PMSC-GR .80; LOC .60;
OC .76). Confirmatory factor analysis supported the construct validity of a one-factor and twofactor
model. Scores of the PMSC and the PSPCSA-PCS were correlated to a low level. The
PMSC-GR is valid and reliable for Greek children and appears to measure a different construct
to general physical perceived competence.
