Erfassung unmittelbarer affektiver Reaktionen auf körperliche Aktivität

Eine Validierungsstudie für deutschsprachige Versionen der Feeling Scale und der Felt Arousal Scale

Published Online:https://doi.org/10.1026/1612-5010/a000291

Zusammenfassung. Affektive Reaktionen während körperlicher Aktivität haben in den letzten Jahren vermehrtes Forschungsinteresse erfahren. In englischsprachigen Forschungsarbeiten werden vielfach die zwei Single-Item-Verfahren „Feeling Scale“ (Hardy & Rejeski, 1989) und „Felt Arousal Scale“ (Svebak & Murgatroyd, 1985) zur Erhebung angewendet. Für den deutschsprachigen Raum liegen bisher keine validierten Übersetzungen dieser Verfahren vor. Daher wurden 82 Personen bei einer Fahrradergometrie deutsche Übersetzungen der FS und FAS vorgelegt. Zur Prüfung der Validität wurde parallel das „Self-Assessment Manikin“-Verfahren (Bradley & Lang, 1994) eingesetzt und individuelle Variationen auf Between- und Within-Person Ebene analysiert. Die Korrelationen zwischen FS und SAM Dimension Valenz (r = .72 bis .73) sowie zwischen FAS und SAM Dimension Aktivierung (r = .50 bis .62) waren mit den englischsprachigen Validierungsstudien vergleichbar. Auf Basis dieses Beitrags können die Möglichkeiten für die Erhebung von affektiven Reaktionen im deutschen Sprachraum erweitert werden, wobei Validierungen in weiteren Personengruppen empfehlenswert sind.


Measuring Acute Affective Responses to Physical Activity: A Validation Study of German Versions of the Feeling Scale and Felt Arousal Scale

Abstract. Research interest in affective responses during physical activity has increased in recent years. In English-speaking regions, the two single-item procedures – the Feeling Scale (FS; Hardy & Rejeski, 1989) and the Felt Arousal Scale (FAS; Svebak & Murgatroyd, 1985) – are commonly used for gathering data. For German-speaking regions, no validated translations are available. Therefore, 82 persons answered German translations of the FS and FAS during a bicycle ergometry. The Self-Assessment Manikin (Bradley & Lang, 1994) was applied in parallel and individual variations in between- and within-person levels were analyzed. Correlations between the FS and SAM valence dimension (r = .72 to .73) as well as between the FAS and SAM activation dimension (r = .50 to .62) were comparable to the original validation studies. Based on the present study, the potential for investigating affective responses in German-speaking regions may be enlarged. However, validation studies in further populations are recommended.
