Impression motivation is an important individual difference variable that has been under-researched in sport psychology, partly due to having no appropriate measure. This study was conducted to design a measure of impression motivation in team-sport athletes. Construct validity checks decreased the initial pool of items, factor analysis (n = 310) revealed the structure of the newly developed scale, and exploratory structural equation modeling procedures (n = 406) resulted in a modified scale that retained theoretical integrity and psychometric parsimony. This process produced a 15-item, 4-factor model; the Impression Motivation in Sport Questionnaire-Team (IMSQ-T) is forwarded as a valid measure of the respondent's dispositional strength of motivation to use self-presentation in striving for four distinct interpersonal objectives: self-development, social identity development, avoidance of negative outcomes, and avoidance of damaging impressions. The availability of this measure has contributed to theoretical development, will facilitate research, and offers a tool for use in applied settings.
印象动机是运动心理学中一个重要的个体差异变量，但研究相对较少，部分原因是缺乏合适的测量方法。本研究旨在设计一种用于团队运动运动员的印象动机测量方法。结构效度检验减少了初始项目池，因素分析（n=310）揭示了新开发量表的结构，探索性结构方程建模程序（n=406）得出了一个修改后的量表，保留了理论完整性和心理测量简约性。这个过程产生了一个 15 项 4 因素模型；运动中的印象动机问卷-团队版（IMSQ-T）被提出作为一个有效的测量工具，用于衡量个体在追求四个不同的人际目标时使用自我呈现的动力的倾向性：自我发展、社会认同发展、避免负面结果和避免产生破坏性印象。这个测量工具的出现有助于理论发展，将促进研究，并为应用环境提供一个工具。
