Abstract
Morris, & Moore, 2012) as Thai language using the confirmatory factor analysis, and 2) to compare physical activity and motivation levels between different imagery functions. In
the Study 1, participants were 714 students of Ramkhamhaeng Universiry City Campus (female = 66.43 and male = 33.57), average age was 19.38 years (SD = 2.53) who enrolled the subject
of HPR1001 Sports for Health in the first semester. In the Study 2, participants were 300 students of Ramkhamhaeng Universiry City Campus (female = 79.0 and male = 21.0), average age was
19.05 years (SD = 1.54) who enrolled the subject of GAS1001 Exercise and Sports for Health in the second semester. They were divided among three groups as Experimental group 1,
Experimental group 2. Experimental group 3. Research tools used in trials were a) the Physical Activity and Leisure Motivation Scale in Thai language which was developed in the
Study 1, b) Non-imagery intervention for taking classes only, c) Imagery intervention for life safety with taking classes, and d) Imagery intervention for appearance with taking classes.
Data analysis, The confirmatory factor analysis to investigate the fit indices was used in study 1 and Study 2 was designed to compare the physical activity and motivation levels betweengroups at before and after imagery uses, using the One-Way Analysis of Variance and pairedcomparison of Tukey. Results of study 1 showed that the fit indices of eight-factor model of the PALMS-T were adequate to good levels (RMSEA = 0.08, NFI = 0.92, CFI = 0.94, GFI = 0.87, and reliability value was good level (α = 0.93). For this study, the model consisted of 37 items were acceptable for investigating in the present samples. Study 2 showed that there was no statistical difference of PA participation and motivation levels between groups at before trial (F= 0.005, p >.05). Statistically significant differences were found at Alpha level of .05, between groups at after trial (F= 29.39, p <.05).
