Objectives: The purpose of the present study was to develop and psychometrically evaluate a new measure of parental perceptions grounded in the Eccles%26apos; parental socialization framework: the Parents%26apos; Perceptions of Physical Activity Importance and their Children%26apos;s Ability Questionnaire (PPPAICAQ). %26lt;br%26gt;Design: Cross-sectional with self-reported questionnaires. %26lt;br%26gt;Method: The total sample comprised 1100 parents of children (6-11 years old) and was randomly divided in third (one calibration and two validation samples). Data were analyzed with reliability, confirmatory factor analyses (CFA), multi-group CFAs as well as with correlational analyses. %26lt;br%26gt;Results: Results of the initial confirmatory factor analyses (CFAs) of the 2-factor 12-item model on the calibration sample resulted in a poor fit to the data. Re-estimation of the PPPAICAQ resulted in the deletion of 4 initial items. The 2-factor 8-item model revealed a good fit to the data for the three samples. Results of two multiple-group CFAs showed that the final model was partially invariant across the father and mother as well as the boy and girl samples. The patterns of relationships between parents%26apos; motivation, parents%26apos; support and the PPPAICAQ subscales provided evidence for the criterion-related validity of the PPPAICAQ. %26lt;br%26gt;Conclusion: This study provided support for the reliability and validity of the PPPAICAQ. The PPPAICAQ is an instrument that will be useful for theoretically-driven research on parental socialization influence on children%26apos; PA.
