Abstract

Reports an error in 'Physical activity among African American parents of young children: Personal and environmental factors' by Bcashica J. Webber-Ritchey, Ruth E. Taylor-Piliae, Kathleen C. Insel and Lols Loescher (International Journal of Sport Psychology, 2016[Nov-Dec], Vol 47[6], 523-544). In the original article, the reference informations are incorrect because the data are 2016:47:523-544 (doi: 10.7352/I[SP 2016.47.533) and not 2015.46.523-544 (doi: 10.7352/IJSP.2015.46.523). (The following abstract of the original article appeared in record [rid]2017-05892-003[/rid]). Methods: African American (AA) parents/caregivers (n = 96; M age = 36 years) completed an online survey to describe PA. personal (PA knowledge, exercise self-efficacy-SE and outcome expectations-OE) and environmental factors (social economic status-SES, neighborhood safety-NS. and culture). Results; Moderate (30%. n = 29) to high (54%, n = 52) levels of PA were reported. There were significant correlations between PA and NS (rs = .25) and PA knowledge and PA (rs = -.30). Significant predictors of PA included SE (P = .21, t(84) = 2.20. p = .030), NS ( = 33. t(84) = 3.56. p = .001). and an unexpected inverse of PA knowledge (p = -.25, t(84) =- 2.42, p = .018). Conclusions: Unlike prior studies, we found AA parents of young children were physically active, knowledgeable of the PA guidelines, with moderate-high exercise SE. high SES. felt safe in their neighborhoods with a positive cultural identity. Future research examining the influence of AA parents' PA on health indicators among their children is needed next. (PsycInfo Database Record (c) 2022 APA, all rights reserved)
