The frustration of basic psychological needs can be detrimental to people's health. To date, a scale developed specifically for measuring such perceived negative experiences, derived from a need thwarting environment in the physical activity context, is lacking. The present research attempted to develop and validate the Psychological Need Frustration Scale for Physical Activity (PNFS-PA) grounded in self-determination theory via multiple studies.
In Study 1, an item pool was created, and its face and content validity were established. In Study 2, the factor structure of the scale was demonstrated using exploratory structural equation modelling (ESEM). In Study 3, its factor structure was cross-validated. Also, the nomological validity, reliability and measurement invariance of the scale were established.
Taken together, the research suggests the newly developed PNFS-PA is valid and reliable and can be applied to assess psychological needs frustration experiences in the physical activity context.
基本心理需求的受挫可能对人们的健康有害。迄今为止,尚缺乏一种专门为测量此类在体育活动环境中因需求受阻而产生的负面体验而开发的量表。本研究试图通过多项研究开发并验证基于自我决定理论的体育活动心理需求受挫量表(PNFS-PA)。
在研究1中,创建了一个项目池,并确定了其表面效度和内容效度。在研究2中,使用探索性结构方程模型(ESEM)展示了该量表的因子结构。在研究3中,对其因子结构进行了交叉验证。此外,还确定了该量表的效标效度、信度和测量不变性。
综合来看,研究表明新开发的PNFS-PA有效且可靠,可用于评估体育活动背景下的心理需求受挫体验。
