Item-level discriminant validity testing for FHC-PA (Sg).

FHC-PA (Sg)
Label Item Description (In our family…) Mean SD Factor 1 (Val) Factor 2 (Coh) Factor 3 (Inf)
Factor = Val (Value)
Val1 ...we make it a point of being physically active during our daily life (e.g., taking walks, exercising, playing sports) 1.89 0.75 2 2
Val2 ...it is normal to be physically active on a regular basis 1.88 0.75 2 2
Val3 ...it is normal for us that we exercise on a regular basis 1.78 0.82 2 2
Val4 ...it is normal to be physically active in our free time 1.80 0.72 2 2
Val5 ...we agree that physical activities are part of our daily life 1.91 0.73 2 2
Val6 …we encourage and support each other to be physically active 2.01 0.74 1 2
Factor = Coh (Cohesion)
Coh1 ...we like spending time together doing physical activities 1.71 0.79 2 2
Coh2 ...we enjoy exercising together 1.66 0.83 2 2
Coh3 ...we have fun doing physical activities together 1.78 0.80 2 2
Coh4 ...we find it very pleasant to be together doing physical activities 1.82 0.78 2 2
Coh5 ...we like spending time together in sports (e.g., cycling, ball games, canoeing) 1.51 0.88 2 2
Coh6 ...we usually agree on physical activities to do together 1.70 0.81 2 2
Factor = Inf (Information)
Inf1 ...we watch videos (e.g., on YouTube, Netflix, or TV) on fitness, physical activities, or exercise 1.51 0.89 2 2
Inf2 ...we actively look for the latest information on physical activity and exercise to stay up to date 1.31 0.83 2 2
Inf3 ...we collect information (e.g., download/bookmark online information, cut out print articles) on fitness, physical activity, and exercise 1.24 0.81 2 2
Inf4 ...we read articles (printed or online) on fitness, physical activity, and exercise 1.41 0.84 2 2

Cutoff point for significance is 2 standard errors (1 SE = 0.05, 2 SE = 0.1). Levels of scaling success: 2: Item-factor correlation is significantly higher for hypothesized scale than for competing scale. 1: Item-factor correlation is higher for hypothesized scale than competing scale, but not significantly.−1: Item-factor correlation is lower for hypothesized scale than competing scale, but not significantly.−2: Item-factor correlation is significantly lower for hypothesized scale than for competing scale.
