AB  - BACKGROUND: Estimates of the reliability and validity of the English nine-item 
      Outcome Expectations for Exercise (OEE) scale have been tested and found to be 
      valid for use in various settings, particularly among older people, with good 
      internal consistency and validity. Data on the use of the OEE scale among older 
      Chinese people living in the community and how cultural differences might affect 
      the administration of the OEE scale are limited. AIM: To test the validity and 
      reliability of the Chinese version of the Outcome Expectations for Exercise scale 
      among older people. METHODS: A cross-sectional validation study was designed to 
      test the Chinese version of the OEE scale (OEE-C). Reliability was examined by 
      testing both the internal consistency for the overall scale and the squared 
      multiple correlation coefficient for the single item measure. The validity of the 
      scale was tested on the basis of both a traditional psychometric test and a 
      confirmatory factor analysis using structural equation modelling. The Mokken 
      Scaling Procedure (MSP) was used to investigate if there were any hierarchical, 
      cumulative sets of items in the measure. RESULTS: The OEE-C scale was tested in a 
      group of older people in Taiwan (n=108, mean age=77.1). There was acceptable 
      internal consistency (alpha=.85) and model fit in the scale. Evidence of the 
      validity of the measure was demonstrated by the tests for criterion-related 
      validity and construct validity. There was a statistically significant 
      correlation between exercise outcome expectations and exercise self-efficacy 
      (r=.34, p<.01). An analysis of the Mokken Scaling Procedure found that nine items 
      of the scale were all retained in the analysis and the resulting scale was 
      reliable and statistically significant (p=.0008). CONCLUSION: The results 
      obtained in the present study provided acceptable levels of reliability and 
      validity evidence for the Chinese Outcome Expectations for Exercise scale when 
      used with older people in Taiwan. Future testing of the OEE-C scale needs to be 
      carried out to see whether these results are generalisable to older Chinese 
      people living in urban areas.
