Abstract In this paper, we developed scales for psychosocial skills in physical education and life skills (psychosocial skills in daily life) that can be used to evaluate any enhancements in psychosocial skill...s in physical education classes and their transfer to life skills. Nine items common to both psychosocial skills in physical education and life skills, which included decision-making and problem-solving skills (3 items), communication and interpersonal skills (4 items), and emotion and stress coping skills (2 items), were selected. For both, a 4-point Likert scale was used. Then, both scales were administered to 245 elementary school fifth and sixth graders. The result of the exploratory factor analysis indicated that both scales are supposed to be structured by one factor, which suggests that the total score of all the nine items should be utilized as the scale score. Further, the result of the confirmatory factor analysis showed that three sub-scales can be set for scale utilization. In addition, the correlation analysis suggests that psychosocial skills in physical education and life skills may be different; this means that it is necessary to distinguish between the two. Furthermore, some issues pertaining to the further development and utilization of both scales were discussed.show more
