Issue Date: | 2006 | Publisher: | 0031-5125 | Journal: | Perceptual and Motor Skills | Abstract: | The Sport Motivation Scale was developed in French and later translated into English and validated by Pelletier, et al. in 1995. It is based on the principles of self-determination theory. In this study the scale was translated into Spanish to assess and validate it for a sample of 275 athletes (78 women and 197 men) whose mean age was 21.3 yr. (SD = 3.8) and who represented eight sports (track and field, tennis, swimming, waterpolo, soccer, basketball, handball, and volleyball). The Spanish version showed satisfactory internal consistency (Cronbach α of .70 to .80) and temporal stability (test-retest r = .69 to .74) over a 4-wk. period. A confirmatory factor analysis partially supported the seven-factor structure. Correlations among the subscales indicated a simplex pattern supporting the construct validity of the scale. Sex differences were found. Taken together, these findings support use of the Spanish version for assessment of motivation in sport. | URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/10553/42832 | ISSN: | 0031-5125 | DOI: | 10.2466/PMS.102.3.919-930 | Source: | Perceptual And Motor Skills[ISSN 0031-5125],v. 102 (3), p. 919-930 |
