体育授業における運動有能感と回避的態度との因果関係の推定.

In this study, by positioning an inferiority complex regarding physical education as an avoidance attitude, we studied the reciprocal relationships between physical competence and avoidance attitudes in physical education among elementary and junior high school students. A three-wave panel was used to investigate data for 155 elementary (64 male, 91 female) and 330 junior high school students (180 male, 150 female), who completed questionnaires. The measures included assessment of an inferiority complex in terms of a physical education class scale (avoidance attitude focused on motor skills and a complex focused on psychosocial and physical factors, causing feelings of inferiority that would develop into an avoidance attitude) developed by Sasaki and Suko (2016), and a physical competence scale (perceived physical competence, feeling of control and peer and teacher acceptance) developed by Okazawa et al. (1996). The validity of the three-wave, cross-lagged effect model was verified using structural equation modeling. In addition, simultaneous multi-population analysis was verified for both boys and girls. The results suggested the following processes: (1) In elementary school students, perceived physical competence has a negative effect on avoidance attitudes to physical education (including both an avoidance attitude focused on motor skills and a complex focused on psychosocial and physical factors, causing feelings of inferiority that develop into an avoidance attitude). (2) In junior high school students, an avoidance attitude focused on motor skills as well as perceived physical competence and peer and teacher acceptance had negative mutual effects. Therefore, the causal relationship between physical competence and avoidance attitude in physical education was shown to differ between elementary and junior high school students.
