Abstract
Abstract A paper and pencil peer rating of physical performance (Physical Performance Scale) was investigated for reliability and validity using 538 fifth and sixth grade boys and girls as subjects. Test-retest reliability was high. Correlation coefficients were .812 for fifth graders and .879 for sixth graders. In order to determine validity, Pearson product moment correlation, analysis of variance, and biserial correlation were used. The criterion used for validating the scale was average T-scores on selected AAHPER Youth Fitness Test items. The scale demonstrated good validity for discriminating between high and low levels of physical performance as determined by the Youth Fitness Test scores (rbis = .875 for boys and .930 for girls). In addition, when the subjects were grouped according to average physical performance T-scores, the mean peer rating scores were significantly different among the groups.
