BACKGROUND: The study aimed to examine the psychometric properties of the Thai version of the Physical Activity and Leisure Motivation Scale (PALMS-T), validated among the Thai-speaking population.
METHODS: With convenience sampling, a cross-sectional survey was conducted in five provinces across Thailand to evaluate the validity of PALMS-T. A total of 739 university students, aged 19.0 years old (SD=1.28) completed the PALMS-T. Standard forward and backward translation was employed in translating the English language PALMS to the Thai language. The data were analysed using Mplus 8 software by using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The hypothesised model consisted of eight factors and 40 items, where five items represented each factor.
RESULTS: Based on the CFA results, the hypothesised model resulted in a good fit to the data with acceptable levels of fit indices (RMSEA =0.061 (90% CI: 0.058, 0.063), CFI =0.921, TLI =0.907). The composite reliability was acceptable for all eight factors and ranged from 0.68 to 0.91.
CONCLUSIONS: The PALMS-T is the first validated Thai version in Thailand. The hypothesised measurement model of PALMS-T consisted of eight subscales, including all 40 items in the model, which was considered acceptable for the present Thai sample.
