Description

The aim of this study was to develop an affect scale using simple words and facial images in exercise, which can be used in children and people with disabilities to understand verbal expression. This scale consists of simple words and facial images. It is easy to use in an exercise setting and is assumed to be used in combination with other scales in some cases. It is comprised of three items ： negative affect, positive engagement, and tranquility. The validity of the developed affect scale was examined by finding the correlation coefficient of each of the three items with affect scale (Arai et al., 2003). The correlation coefficient was 0.66 (p＜.01) for negative affect, 0.68 (p＜.01) for positive engagement, and 0.61 (p＜.01) for tranquility. The practicality of the scale was examined by using it in a setting of comfortably paced running in a physical education class of elementary school children. The results showed that the scale was able to detect the changes before and after the exercise and was determined to have satisfactory sensitivity.
