Since there is no scientifically validated German version of the Behavioral Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire (BREQ-3), the aim of this study was to assess its psychometric parameters and invariance across sex in a sample of German-speaking young adults. The BREQ-3 is an instrument measuring the social and internal influences of motivation toward exercising. This tool is widespread within the scientific community and has been validated in several languages.
A total of 271 participants (45% women; mean age = 20.67 ± 2.17 years; effect size ≥ 0.5) filled in the BREQ-3 at one time point, with a small sub-sample ( = 37) responding it a second time after 15 days. Confirmatory Factorial Analysis, Structural Modeling, and Intraclass Correlation Coefficient were used to examine the German version of the questionnaire.
Results highlighted a good fit of the six-dimensional model after the removal of two items (CFI = 0.912; SRMR = 0.0594; RMSEA = 0.064), as well as full invariance across sex (p = 0.218; ΔCFI < 0.01). Internal consistency and reliability were moderate to good.
The 22-item German BREQ-3 is a scientifically valid instrument that can be used in cross-national studies dealing with social aspects of exercise behaviors.
由于尚无经过科学验证的德语版运动行为调节问卷（BREQ - 3），本研究旨在评估其心理测量参数以及在德语区年轻成年人样本中的性别不变性。BREQ - 3是一种测量运动动机的社会和内部影响的工具。该工具在科学界广泛使用，并已在多种语言中得到验证。
共有271名参与者（45%为女性；平均年龄 = 20.67 ± 2.17岁；效应量≥0.5）在一个时间点填写了BREQ - 3，其中一个小的子样本（ = 37）在15天后再次填写。使用验证性因子分析、结构建模和组内相关系数来检验该问卷的德语版。
结果表明，在删除两个项目后，六维模型拟合良好（CFI = 0.912；SRMR = 0.0594；RMSEA = 0.064），并且在性别上具有完全不变性（p = 0.218；ΔCFI < 0.01）。内部一致性和信度为中等至良好。
22项德语版BREQ - 3是一种科学有效的工具，可用于涉及运动行为社会方面的跨国研究。
