The purpose of this study was to test a short version of the decisional balance scale for exercise in Greek adults. The DBS was administered to 158 (61.2%) women and 100 (38.8%) men. An exploratory factor analysis yielded a positive (pros) factor and a negative (cons) factor. The results from confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the two-factor structure was the best fit for the DBS when it was used with Greek adults. The alpha coefficients were .84 for the positive factor and .81 for the negative factor. The findings are similar to those of the English original, and suggest that the revised DBS can be used in exercise and activity research with Greek adults. However, to expand the usefulness of this instrument across cultures, the DBS should continue to be tested with other Greek populations and settings. 2008 artículo científico 1885-3137 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=71041102 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=710 RICYDE.
