Dupont, Jean-Philippe; Carlier, Ghislain; Gerard, Philippe; Delens, Cecile – European Physical Education Review, 2009
The aim of this study is to test a model of motivation based on self-determination theory (Deci and Ryan, 2002) and which explores the place of "teacher-student" negotiation. Cross-sectional data were gathered from 549 secondary school students (317 male, 232 female) who answered a questionnaire which included measurements of perceived…

Scott, Felicity; Rhodes, Ryan E.; Downs, Danielle Symons – Journal of American College Health, 2009
Objective: Public health messaging about physical activity (PA) sometimes combines moderate and vigorous intensity, but the variance/invariance of the motives for PA by intensity has received scant attention. Thus, the purpose of this study was to examine the beliefs and motivations associated with regular moderate- and vigorous-intensity PA in a…

Vandewaetere, M.; Desmet, P. – Computer Assisted Language Learning, 2009
The great majority of questionnaires measuring non-observable constructs such as attitude towards CALL are often developed from a specific point of view and are seldom followed by psychometrical validation. Psychometrical properties of the questionnaire, such as construct validity and reliability, then remain unanswered too often, laying a heavy…
