Introduction: Based on the hierarchical conceptualization of the motivational climate that derives from self-determination and achievement goal theories (Duda, 2013), the purpose of this study was to develop a Chinese-version Empowering and Disempowering Motivational Climate Questionnaire (EDMCQ) to measure the empowering and disempowering motivational climate created by teachers in college physical education. Methods: The present research adopted a survey method with three procedures. In procedure one, the original EDMCQ (Milton et al., 2018) was translated into Chinese. Two hundred and fifty-nine college students in physical education classes were recruited to participate in the pilot study. In procedure two, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) was used to examine the factorial structure, item discrimination, and internal consistency of the questionnaire. In procedure three, the formal questionnaire was distributed to 499 college students in physical education. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was applied to examine the reliability and validity. Framed within empowering and disempowering motivational climates, intrinsic motivation and enjoyment were used to assess predictive validity. Results: The results of exploratory factor analysis showed a two-factor empowering and disempowering motivational climate questionnaire with 34 items, one item was deleted due to cross-loading. Two factors accounted for 61.04% of the total explained variance. Additionally, the result of the confirmatory factor analysis of the overall index model was found to be an acceptable overall fit. Conclusion: The results of this study indicated that the Chinese-version EDMCQ in physical education showed good coefficients of internal consistency, factorial validity, criterion-related validity, which could be a valuable tool in measuring instructor-created motivational correlates in collegiate physical education. |
