Based on Duda's conceptualization of the motivational climate, the Empowering and Disempowering Motivational Climate Questionnaire-Coach (EDMCQ-C) is a recently developed scale that assesses junior athletes' perception of the social environmental dimensions proposed by achievement goal theory and self-determination theory. The goal of the current investigation was to evaluate the Lithuanian translation of the EDMCQ-C and more broadly extend the validity and reliability of this questionnaire in sport participants. 712 adolescents from different sport teams in Lithuanian were the participants in this study. Exploratory structural equation modelling provided an acceptable fit of a two-factor model (i.e., empowering and disempowering) of EDMCQ-C. Reliability analysis revealed good levels of internal consistency for the empowering and disempowering climate factors. Discriminant validity was confirmed by a negative correlation between empowering and disempowering climate subscales. Correlations between empowering and disempowering subscales with values, motivation and self-esteem constructs demonstrate convergent validity. Associations between the climate dimensions and prosocial and antisocial behaviour in sport demonstrate predictive validity of EDMCQ-C. The evidence from this study suggests the Lithuanian version of EDMCQ-C is a promising scale for the assessment of athletes' perceptions of the empowering and disempowering features of the motivational climate created by their coach.
基于 Duda 的动机氛围概念化,授权和非授权动机氛围问卷-教练版(EDMCQ-C)是一种最近开发的量表,用于评估初级运动员对成就目标理论和自我决定理论提出的社会环境维度的感知。本研究的目的是评估 EDMCQ-C 的立陶宛语翻译,并更广泛地扩展该问卷在运动参与者中的有效性和可靠性。712 名来自立陶宛不同运动队的青少年是本研究的参与者。探索性结构方程模型为 EDMCQ-C 的双因素模型(即授权和非授权)提供了可接受的拟合。可靠性分析显示,授权和非授权气候因素具有良好的内部一致性水平。授权和非授权气候分量之间的负相关证实了判别有效性。授权和非授权分量与价值观、动机和自尊结构之间的相关性表明具有收敛有效性。气候维度与运动中的亲社会和反社会行为之间的关联表明 EDMCQ-C 具有预测有效性。这项研究的证据表明,EDMCQ-C 的立陶宛语版本是一种很有前途的量表,可用于评估运动员对教练创造的激励氛围中的授权和非授权特征的感知。
