Content validity was verified by an expert panel and our instrument was then administered to the two sample physical education classes. SPSS version 27.0 (SPSS Inc, Chicago, IL) was used to perform all analyses in this study. Findings and Results: The results of the instrument validity test using Pearson correlation showed that 45 statement items were valid (r count > r table) of 46 statement items. It could be concluded that the Indonesian version of the SSIS-RS instrument had achieved adequate group validity. Cronbach alpha ranged from 0.888-0.893, indicating adequate internal consistency.
