Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop a Mood Check List (MCL) for measuring the mood state following exercise, and to confirm its reliability and validity. For the theory of affect, a three dimensional model, consisting of "Pleasantness / Unpleasantness", "Tension / Relaxation" and "Excitement / Calm", designed by Kuki (1981) was used. Using male and female students as subjects. MCL- 1 consisting of 12 items and MCL-2 consisting of 23 items were investigated after exercise in the first study and the second study, and three factors were extracted by a factor analysis. In addition, the criterion-related validity was investigated in a third study. Reliability was examined by Cronbach's α coefficients, and validity was conducted by computing the correlation coefficient between MCL-3 and the Profile of Mood States (POMS) . The results are summarized as follows: 1. The MCL-3 scale, consisting of 22 items including three independent factors of "Pleasantness", "Relaxation" and "Satisfaction", was developed in order to measure the mood state following exercise. 2. A high and significant coefficient of reliability (α=.959, p <.01) of MCL-3 was found, and therefore, reliability was recognized. 3. Significantly negative correlation coefficients (r=.312〜.549, p <.01) between MCL-3 subscales and Tension. Depression, Anger, Fatigue and Confusion of POMS were recognized, while significantly positive correlation coefficients (r=.4O4〜.667 , p <.O1) between the MCL--3 subscales and the Vigor of POMS were also recognized. These results thus demonstrate the criterion-related validity of the MCL-3. 4. The construct validity of MCL-3 was therefore considered to be partially demonstrated, because the factors labeled as "Pleasantness" and "Relaxation" were considered to correspond to "Pleasantness / Unpleasantness" and "Tension / Relaxation" as extrapolated by KuKi's model, respectively, and thus could be extracted by a factor analysis.
