Description
Describes events related to motivating/influencing the target child to directly engage in either physical activity or sedentary behavior. These events could be antecedents (e.g., prompts) or consequences (e.g., rewards or punishers). (Code one) Use partial interval time sampling. That is, code relevant events if they occur at any time during the observe interval. Code events related to motivating/influencing the target child to directly engage in either physical activity or sedentary behavior. These events may be antecedents (e.g., prompts) or consequences (e.g., rewards or punishers). √ -N (None). No prompts or consequences were provided for the target child to engage in either physical activity or sedentary behavior during the interval. √ -PA (Physical Activity). A person provided a prompt or consequence to directly motivate the target child to initiate or continue to engage in physical activity (i.e., at activity levels 4 or 5). √ -SB (Sedentary Behavior). A person provided a prompt or consequence to directly motivate the target child to initiate or continue to engage in sedentary behavior (i.e., level 1, 2, or 3). Physical activity refers to those activity levels that would be coded as Activity Levels 4 and 5. References to (i.e., prompts and consequences related to) all locomotor activities (e.g., walking, running, hopping, skipping, galloping, chasing, fleeing, dodging, and crawling), as well as manipulative (e.g., throwing, catching, kicking, punting, dribbling, volleying, and striking), and non-manipulative activities (e.g., balancing, rolling, twisting, hanging, jumping) that involve gross motor movement are coded as physical activities. Examples with including interactor coded--Dimension 5.0): Mom says: "Go outside and play." Code as “Adult; motivates physical activity.” Boy tosses study child a ball. Code as “Child; motivates physical activity.” Study child is playing tag with peers. Code as “Child; motivates physical activity.” Study child is playing chess or video games with sibling. Code as “Child, motivates sedentary behavior.” Study child sits with friend on couch, but do not interact. Code (“N, N”) to indicate there was no behavior motivated, and thus no interactor. Sibling says: “Let’s stop jumping rope now.” Code as “Child, motivates sedentary behavior.” Grandfather says, “Stop all that running around.” Code as “Adult; motivates sedentary behavior.” During an observe interval TC is engaged reciprocally in active play with a girl (e.g., during wrestling, tag). Code as “Child: motives physical activity.” Boy on monkey bars says to TC, "See how much fun playing on this bar is." Code as “Child, motivates physical activity.” (i.e., the boy provides imitative prompt) When the study child is a participant in a group, code prompts and consequences provided to that group. For example if T.C. is a member of the Striders and hears: "All the children in the Striders Group did such a good job sprinting to the finish," code as “Adult, motivates physical activity.” Code all prompts that relate specifically to doing gross body activities. For example, mom says "Go to the refrigerator and get the milk." Code as “Adult, motivates physical activity." (i.e., walking). However, do not code statements such as "Pass the butter." or "Get your feet off the table and sit up straight." as prompts for either physical activity or sedentary behavior. Motivators (i.e., prompts and consequences) are coded only if likely (intended) to have an immediate (within that day) effect (are contingent) on physical activity or sedentary behavior. Stated motivators (i.e., verbal) must be direct and refer to immediate specific and concrete events, and not refer to remote and vague concepts such as references to becoming fat, fit, or sick. In cases when there are multiple prompts or consequences during an interval, record only the first prompt or first consequence AND its interactor. Record verbal consequences that are made regarding and heard by the study child but spoken to others. For example, code when a study child hears his mom say to dad, "Look at that T.C., I'm so proud of the way he's exercising" as “Adult, motivates physical activity.” Do not code verbal prompts if you don't hear them clearly. (Listen carefully and keep up with study child.) Do not code requests to be physically active or engage in sedentary behavior by the target child.
