Although athletes' experiences of autonomy, competence, and relatedness play in key role in their motivation, performance-related outcomes, and wellness, there is no evidence to date on measures of autonomy, competence, and relatedness in the Romanian sport context. Building upon self-determination theory, the objective of this research was to adapt the Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scale and analyze its psychometric properties in the Romanian sport context.
The participants were 642 professional athletes (354 males and 288 females; M = 22.81, SD = 5.78) who competed at the international and/or national level.
The results from confirmatory factor analyses psychometrically supported a six-factor correlated model, which was invariant across gender, age, and sport. Convergent validity was met by average variance extracted values between 0.60 and 0.74. Discriminant validity was underpinned by values from -0.72 to 0.72 for a heterotrait-monotrait ratio of correlations among the six factors. Reliability was endorsed by Cronbach's alpha scores between 0.75 and 0.89, and between 0.76 and 0.89 for Raykov's composite reliability coefficient. Criterion validity was supported by positive relationships of autonomy, competence, and relatedness satisfaction to autonomous motivation, and positive associations of autonomy, competence, and relatedness frustration with controlled motivation and amotivation.
The Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scale is shown to be a valid and reliable measure of need satisfaction and frustration in professional Romanian athletes.
尽管运动员的自主性、能力感和关联性体验在他们的动机、表现相关结果和健康方面起着关键作用,但迄今为止,在罗马尼亚体育背景下还没有关于自主性、能力感和关联性的测量方法。本研究以自我决定理论为基础,旨在改编需求满足和挫折感量表,并分析其在罗马尼亚体育背景下的心理测量特性。
参与者为 642 名职业运动员(男性 354 名,女性 288 名;M=22.81,SD=5.78),他们在国际和/或国家层面参赛。
验证性因素分析的结果从心理测量学上支持了一个六因素相关模型,该模型在性别、年龄和运动项目上是不变的。平均方差抽取值在 0.60 到 0.74 之间,证明了收敛效度。六因素之间相关的异质单特质比为 -0.72 到 0.72,为判别效度提供了依据。信度得到了 0.75 到 0.89 之间的克朗巴赫α分数和 0.76 到 0.89 之间的 Raykov 综合可靠性系数的支持。效标效度得到了自主性、能力感和关联性满足与自主动机之间的积极关系,以及自主性、能力感和关联性挫折与控制动机和动机缺失之间的积极关联的支持。
需求满足和挫折感量表在罗马尼亚职业运动员中是一种有效且可靠的需求满足和挫折感测量工具。
