Abstract
Two forms of an inventory for assessing attitudes toward physical activity were administered to 220 undergraduate students. Kenyon's inventory was developed for use with adults and high school students, while the Simon and Smoll adaptation of this inventory was designed for elementary school children. A multivariate analysis of variance yielded nonsignificant differences on four of the six attitude dimensions of the multidimensional model for physical activity. Further analyses indicated that the two inventories are essentially equivalent, but with some caution being required in the interpretation of any differences between inventories with respect to attitude as an ascetic experience.
