Exploração de um modelo de segunda ordem da Versão Portuguesa da Basic Psychological Needs in Exercise Scale (BPNESp): validade do constructo e invariância

Abstract

O objetivo do presente estudo consistiu em analisar as propriedades psicométricas das versão portuguesa do Basic Psychological Needs Exercise Scale, testar um modelo de segunda ordem que represente as três necessidades psicológicas básicas, bem como analisar a invariância do modelo de medida de primeira e segunda ordem. Participaram neste estudo 550 sujeitos de ambos os géneros (264 femininos; 286 masculinos), com idades compreendidas entre os 14 e os 69 anos (M=30.0; SD=10.2) praticantes de exercício físico em ginásios ou health clubs de diversas atividades. Os resultados revelaram que o instrumento possui validade de constructo (validade fatorial, convergente e discriminante), fiabilidade compósita e revelou ainda ser invariante em função do género, e atividades praticadas no contexto ginásio (musculação, cardiofitness e musculação), tanto para o modelo de 1ª como de 2ª ordem. Em suma, as evidências encontradas no presente estudo, confirmam a validade e dão suporte à utilização sem reservas da versão Portuguesa da BPNESp para a avaliação das necessidades psicológicas básicas (individualmente ou através de um índice global) em investigações futuras no domínio do exercício

The Relationship between Teachers and Peers’ Motivational Climates, Needs Satisfaction, and Physical Education Grades: An AGT and SDT Approach

“…Students responded using a 5-point scale ranging from 1 (“totally disagree”) to 5 (“totally agree”). Composite score (i.e., needs satisfaction) was calculated using procedures reported elsewhere [ 31 ]. Specifically, we used a second-order approach to model each need as a composite score for needs satisfaction as a latent variable.…”

Assessing the Relationship between Autonomy Support and Student Group Cohesion across Ibero-American Countries

“…Internal consistency for autonomy, competence, and relatedness satisfaction was 0.76, 0.82 and 0.90, respectively. All needs were regressed into a composite factor using similar procedures reported in previous literature [34].…”

Assessment in Sport and Exercise Psychology: Considerations and Recommendations for Translation and Validation of Questionnaires

“…Some of the recommendations mentioned have been considered by several authors in Portugal, in the validation of questionnaires (using the CFA) in psychology applied to several physical activity domains: sport (e.g., Monteiro et al, 2017 , 2019 ; Cid et al, 2019 ), exercise (e.g., Cid et al, 2018 , 2020a , b ; Rodrigues et al, 2019 , 2021a ) and physical education (e.g., Cid et al, 2016 ; Rodrigues et al, 2020 ).…”

“…Some of the recommendations mentioned have been considered by several authors in Portugal, when analysis of measurement model invariance as include in questionnaire validation in sport and exercise psychology (e.g., Cid et al, 2020b ; Monteiro et al, 2020 ; Rodrigues et al, 2021b ; Teixeira et al, 2021 ).…”

“…Among the indexes presented for acceptable measurement invariance, CFI was chosen as the main criterion because RMSEA and SRMR tend to over reject an invariant model when sample size is small, particularly when using SRMR for testing loading or residual variance invariance (Chen, 2008). Some of the recommendations mentioned have been considered by several authors in Portugal, when analysis of measurement model invariance as include in questionnaire validation in sport and exercise psychology (e.g., Cid et al, 2020b;Monteiro et al, 2020;Rodrigues et al, 2021b;Teixeira et al, 2021).…”
