This study evaluated the German Physical Activity Barriers Self-Efficacy Scale using multi-level validation methods, including confirmatory factor analysis (lavaan), internal consistency testing, and criterion validity assessment in a sample of female sixth-graders. The key finding reported is that the scale’s psychometric properties supported a valid measurement structure, with reported internal consistency and criterion-related performance. A major caveat explicitly stated in the provided text is that the authors withdrew the preprint version to make corrections, indicating issues that required amendment. This paper does not explicitly discuss endometriosis or adenomyosis; it was included in the corpus via a keyword match in the upstream search index.

My notes (saved in your browser only)

Ask this paper AI returns verbatim quotes from the full text · source: preprint-html

Answers must be backed by verbatim quotes from this paper's full text. Hallucinated quotes are dropped automatically; if no verbatim passage answers the question, we say so. How this works

Citation neighborhood (no data yet)

We don't have any in-corpus citations linked to this paper yet. The paper's references may be in our DB but unresolved to ``paper_id`` (resolution happens at ingest when the cited DOI matches a row we already have). Run the cross-source citation reconcile pass to retry.
