Development and Validation of the COM-B Physical Activity Questionnaire (COM-B PAQ)
The COM-B Physical Activity Questionnaire (COM-B PAQ) was developed through a rigorous, multi-phase research process including item generation, expert consultation, pilot testing, confirmatory factor analysis, and assessments of convergent, discriminant, predictive, and test–retest reliability.
The full manuscript detailing the development and validation of the COM-B PAQ has been submitted to
the International Journal of Behavioral Nutrition and Physical Activity.
The paper outlines:
The theoretical foundations of the questionnaire
Systematic item development mapped to COM-B and the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF)
Confirmatory factor analysis
Evidence of validity and reliability
Implications for research and applied practice
Updates regarding publication status will be provided here.
The COM-B PAQ is grounded in established behaviour change frameworks, including the COM-B model, the Behaviour Change Wheel (BCW), and the Theoretical Domains Framework (TDF).
