“…Items are tapping three factors (Positive Parenting, Inconsistent Discipline, Poor Supervision) with 3 items each. A CFA suggested the 3-factor APQ structure is tenable, χ 2 (24) = 44.10, χ 2 /df = 1.84, RMSEA = .044, CFI = .951, TLI = .926, SRMR = .043 (Kyriazos & Stalikas, 2019a). The internal consistency reliability in the current study was α = .63 (Positive Parenting), α = .68 (Inconsistent Discipline), α = .61 (Poor Supervision).…”

After operationalizing the positive psychology parenting construct, following the model proposed by Seligman in Authentic Happiness, a new questionnaire called NICOMACHUS-Positive Parenting (NPP) was developed and validated. The validation process was completed in three studies. In Study 1 (N = 190) theoretically, relevant items were reduced, refined, and tested resulting in a measure with 20 items. In Studies 2 (N = 621) and 3 (N = 146) the psychometrics of NICOMACHUS were validated and cross-validated respectively. A clear, robust four-factor structure was defined and confirmed with EFA and CFA respectively. Full measurement invariance across the child's gender was successfully established to the strict level. Internal consistency reliability (α), model-based reliability (ω) and convergent validity at the model level (AVE) were excellent and comparable across methods. Convergent/discriminant validity with 6 parenting measures revealed a highly significant, uniform relationship pattern. In Study 3 the above findings were successfully cross-validated by stable, similar findings. Convergent/discriminant validity with 5 measures of wellbeing and affect also revealed a highly significant, clear relationship pattern. The relationship of NICOMACHUS with demographics was also examined. NICOMACHUS adds to the existing parenting measures, allowing parents to evaluate if their parenting practices follow the principles of Positive Psychology.

“…When selecting indicators for evaluating the quality of physical health teaching, a correlation analysis of the sample of evaluation indicators and physical health teaching is required. Correlation analysis of the sample is used to determine the degree of correlation between the indicators and physical health instruction, and correlation analysis of the sample allows amplification of the main features of the physical health instruction experiment and makes it more useful to observe which indicators have an impact on physical health instruction [ 25 ]. The results of the correlation analysis of the evaluation indicators are shown in Table 2 .…”

With various social pressures and the lack of knowledge about physical health, students have poor physical education quality and insufficient knowledge acquisition about physical health. Traditional physical health teaching is a process in which the teacher tells the theory of physical health and students passively accept it, which leads to physical health problems such as low learning efficiency of students’ physical health knowledge and low interest in learning physical health knowledge. With the emphasis on physical health teaching and the development of technologies such as machine learning, machine learning is used to analyze the problems of physical health teaching and help students to learn physical health better to improve the efficiency of physical health teaching. The results of this paper show that the machine learning-based physical education and traditional physical education can reduce the injury rate of students’ sports by 7.7% compared with traditional physical education, make students’ interest in physical education and health learning reach 53.3%, and improve the efficiency of physical education and health learning. There is a degree of students’ acquisition of physical health knowledge. The change from traditional physical health teaching ideology to machine learning-based physical education ideology can improve the teaching efficiency of physical health teaching, allow students to acquire more physical health knowledge, and effectively reduce the risk of students’ injuries in sports.

“…Reliability for positive parenting was .79 to .84 (reported separately among mothers and fathers, respectively), α = .72 to .65 for inconsistent discipline, and α = .59 to .63 for poor supervision (Elgar et al, 2007). Brief versions of APQ has been studied and found useful in diverse contexts including in Greece (Kyriazos & Stalikas, 2019) and Qatar (Badahdah & Le, 2016).…”

Objective This study examined the measurement properties of parenting‐related measures among 140 Rohingya and Afghan refugee parents residing in Malaysia, then examined factors associated with these parenting outcomes. Background Unprecedented numbers of forced migrant families reside in countries of first asylum with temporary status and limited legal rights. Limited research examines parenting experiences among these communities. Method To examine construct validity and reliability of parenting‐related measures among this sample, we carried out confirmatory factor analysis to examine respectively the factor structure of scales measuring underlying latent constructs of Child Adjustment & Parent Efficacy, the Alabama Parenting Questionnaire, and the Family Functioning Scale. Their associations with individual (gender, age, ethnicity, education), social (marital status, number of children), and environmental factors (time in Malaysia, food insecurity, employment, and emotional distress) were examined using structural equation modeling. Results Residing in Malaysia for a longer period of time was associated with higher child behavioral intensity, lower parent self‐efficacy, and higher family conflict. Food insecurity was associated with lower parent self‐efficacy, and being employed was associated with positive parenting as well as poor supervision. Higher levels of emotional distress were associated with higher child behavioral intensity, lower parent self‐efficacy, and lower levels of poor supervision. Conclusion Displacement challenges negatively affect refugee parents and families. Implications Solutions are needed that bolster the abilities of forced migrants to establish permanence and provide for their families. Additionally, attention toward the unique challenges of refugee families can guide service provision within countries of first asylum.
