The present study developed a scale for assessing parenting behaviors towards physical activity and sports, and to examine its concurrent validity, test-retest validity, and predictive validity. Parents (N = 1546, 784 fathers, and 762 mothers) of children aged 6 to 14 completed the questionnaire. Exploratory factor analysis of the scale revealed three factors: “Joint activity,” referring to physical activities with children; “Dominant response,” referring to having children reflect and improve; and “Value transmission of exercise,” referring to communicating the positive attributes of physical activity. Next, the concurrent validity of the scale was confirmed by its correlations with the Scale for Parental Attitudes towards Children. The test-retest analysis conducted after one month indicated moderate reliability. The predictive validity of the scale was shown using the scenario method: Joint activity was found to enhance autonomous response and positive reinforcement for their children, while dominant response was found to enhance domination /over-interference. These results confirmed the usefulness of the new scale for measuring parenting to develop interest in physical activities and sports in young children.
