However, there is a need to translate life skills measures for PE into other languages. This research adapted the Life Skills Scale for PE (LSSPE) into Chinese and provided evidence for its validity and reliability. In Study 1, the scale was cross-culturally adapted through translation and back-translation, expert feedback, pilot testing, and scale refinement to provide evidence for the content validity of the scale. Study 2 provided evidence for the factorial validity, internal consistency reliability, and test-retest reliability of the scale by testing it with 583 students. Study 3, with 390 students, provided evidence for the nomological validity of the measure, with results showing perceived International journal of environmental research and public healthDevelopment and Psychometric Evaluation of the Chinese Version of the Life Skills Scale for Physical Education.PMC910464617BTY094Cheng CCronin LJi XZheng SCheng LfalseDevelopment and Psychometric Evaluation of the Chinese Version of the Life Skills Scale for Physical Education.Research on life skills in physical education (PE) has gained great attention in recent years.
