“…Weiss and Amorose (2005) originally developed this methodology to analyze whether children estimated their MC accurately/inaccurately. The studies also analyzed whether children or adolescents with different profiles of actual and perceived MC (e.g., low MC-high PMC) differ in PA and body mass index Estevan et al, 2019), autonomous motivation (Bardid et al, 2016;De Meester, Maes, et al, 2016), sport participation (Coppens et al, 2021), and PF (Estevan et al, 2019). Studies in this area have used mixed variables and methodological approaches that may influence their findings, such as: (i) using different instruments to measure PMC, (ii) defining the construct of PMC in different ways, (iii) using different samples, with different levels of MC and PMC, which influence "the relative nature of whether actual or perceived motor competence is considered high or low" (Estevan & Barnett, 2018, p. 2692); (iv) using product vs. process measures to assess MC (i.e., focus on the outcome or on the process of the movement, respectively) (De Meester et al, 2020).…”
