A Cross-Cultural Examination of the Psychometric Properties of Responses to the Achievement Goal Questionnaire
Murayama, Kou; Zhou, Mingming; Nesbit, John C.
Educational and Psychological Measurement, v69 n2 p266-286 2009
The psychometric properties of scores from the Achievement Goal Questionnaire were examined in samples of Japanese (N = 326) and Canadian (N = 307) postsecondary students. Previous research found evidence of a four-factor structure of achievement goals in U.S. samples. Using confirmatory factor-analytic techniques, the authors found strong evidence for the four-factor structure of achievement goals in both the Canadian and Japanese populations. Subsequent multigroup structural equation modeling indicated the metric invariance of this four-factor structure across the two populations. (Contains 5 tables.)
