Hutmacher, Djenna; Eckelt, Melanie; Bund, Andreas; Steffgen, Georges – Journal of Psychoeducational Assessment, 2021
The increase of cross-cultural studies and intervention programs, based on the self-determination theory, highlights the urge for validated scales to ensure high-quality research, particularly in the domain of physical education. The present study aimed at evaluating the psychometric properties and measurement invariance of the revised Perceived…

Ersöz, Gözde; Müftüler, Mine; Lapa, Tennur Yerlisu; Tümer, Adile – Cogent Education, 2017
The aim of this study was to examine validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Goal Orientation in Exercise Measure (GOEM). There were 408 participants who were regularly exercising and their age ranged from 17 to 61 years old. The psychometric characteristics of the scale were investigated using exploratory factor analysis (EFA),…

Moore, E. Whitney G.; Brown, Theresa C.; Fry, Mary D. – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2015
The purpose of this study was to develop an abbreviated version of the Perceived Motivational Climate in Exercise Questionnaire (PMCEQ-A) to provide a more practical instrument for use in applied exercise settings. In the calibration step, two shortened versions' measurement and latent model values were compared to each other and the original…

Hellsten, Laurie-ann M.; Rogers, W. Todd – Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, 2009
The purpose of this study was to collect preliminary validity evidence for a time management scale for exercise. An initial pool of 91 items was developed from existing literature. Ten exercise/health psychologists evaluated each of the items in terms of relevance and representativeness. Forty-nine items met all criteria. Exploratory factor…

Penfield, Randall D.; Giacobbi, Peter R., Jr.; Myers, Nicholas D. – Research Quarterly for Exercise and Sport, 2007
One aspect of construct validity is the extent to which the measurement properties of a rating scale are invariant across the groups being compared. An increasingly used method for assessing between-group differences in the measurement properties of items of a scale is the framework of differential item functioning (DIF). In this paper we…
