“…Other studies used this scale with a Greek sample (Vlachopoulos, 2007(Vlachopoulos, , 2008Vlachopoulos & Neikou, 2007), and the different versions of BPNES were used in the exercise context in England (Vlachopoulos et al, 2010), Spain (Murcia et al, 2012) and Turkey (Vlachopoulos et al, 2013). Inclusively, the results from this study were similar to those of Ng et al (2011), who used the scale specifically in the sport context with three factors and 15 items.…”

“…This supports using the measurement model in different cultures, for which the scientific evidence was posteriorly confirmed in a transcultural study regarding the invariances of the measurement model of the BPNES between Greece, Turkey, Spain and Portugal (Vlachopoulos et al, 2013). Further, the Portuguese version of the BPNESp was also adapted and validated preliminary for the physical education context (Pires, Cid, Borrego, Alves, & Silva, 2010), whose model was confirmed in a transcultural study between Portugal and Brazil, where it supported the adequacy of the measurement model for these two countries, as well as their invariance (Cid et al, 2016).…”

“…The process of adapting an existing instrument has considerable advantages, allowing the researcher to compare data from different samples and backgrounds with greater equality, since the same instrument assesses the construct based on the same theoretical and methodological perspectives. Therefore, an adapted instrument will have a greater ability to generalize the results and will also enable to investigate differences within an increasingly diverse population (Hambleton, 2005;Vlachopoulos et al, 2013), avoiding the chaotic proliferation of instruments that evaluate the same constructs. In addition, it is intended to analyse the model invariance between the football and swimming sports, enlarging the scientific evidence and contributing to what Deci and Ryan (2008) designated as knowledge development of the universality of the subjacent variables to the self-determination theory, which, in this concrete case, concerned the satisfaction of the BPN in the sport context.…”

The purpose of this study was to adapt and validate the Basic Psychological Needs Exercise Scale (BPNESp) to the sport domain, and to measure model invariance across football and swimming. Athletes (n=1382; 623 football, 759 swimming) with an average age of 18.77±SD 7.04 years participated in this study. Results supported the suitability of both the first and second order models, showing that the model was well adjusted to the data. In addition, the model showed the discriminant and convergent validity and composite reliability of the factors, and was invariant between football and swimming (∆CFI≤.01).

“…Gregorich (2006) proposed that the equivalence of the factor item loadings and item intercepts is a precondition for testing latent mean differences, as applied by Vlachopoulos et al (2013). The current results, M11 vs. M1, indicated that it would be appropriate to proceed with this type of analysis to compare mean differences in absorption factors between samples, albeit the ΔCFI was close to the 0.01 cut-off.…”

Absorption in Sport: A Cross-Validation Study

et al. 2017

Absorption has been identified as readiness for experiences of deep involvement in the task. Conceptually, absorption is a key psychological construct, incorporating experiential, cognitive, and motivational components. Although, no operationalization of the construct has been provided to facilitate research in this area, the purpose of this research was the development and examination of the psychometric properties of a sport-specific measure of absorption that evolved from the use of the modified Tellegen Absorption Scale (MODTAS; Jamieson, 2005) in mainstream psychology. The study aimed to provide evidence of the psychometric properties, reliability, and validity of the Measure of Absorption in Sport Contexts (MASCs). The psychometric examination included a calibration sample from Scotland and a cross-validation sample from Australia using a cross-sectional design. The item pool was developed based on existing items from the modified Tellegen Absorption Scale (Jamieson, 2005). The MODTAS items were reworded and translated into a sport context. The Scottish sample consisted of 292 participants and the Australian sample of 314 participants. Congeneric model testing and confirmatory factor analysis for both samples and multi-group invariance testing across samples was used. In the cross-validation sample the MASC subscales showed acceptable internal consistency and construct reliability (≥0.70). Excellent fit indices were found for the final 18-item, six-factor measure in the cross-validation sample, χnormal(normal120normal)2 = 197.486, p < 0.001; CFI = 0.957; TLI = 0.945; RMSEA = 0.045; SRMR = 0.044. Multi-group invariance testing revealed no differences in item meaning, except for two items. The MASC and the Dispositional Flow Scale-2 showed moderate-to-strong positive correlations in both samples, r = 0.38, p < 0.001 and r = 0.42, p < 0.001, supporting the external validity of the MASC. This article provides initial evidence in support of the psychometric properties, reliability, and validity of the sport-specific measure of absorption. The MASC provides rich research opportunities in sport psychology that can enhance the theoretical understanding between absorption and related constructs and facilitate future intervention studies.

“…For example, researchers have considered the measurement invariance of instruments ranging from teachers' perception of grading practices scale (TPGP) between US and Chinese students (Liu, 2011) to the basic psychological needs in exercise scale (BPBES) among Greek, Spanish, Portuguese, and Turkish students (Vlachopoulos et al, 2013) and the Educational Needs Assessment Tool (ENAT) among Dutch, Finnish, Norwegian, Portuguese, Spanish and Swedish (Ndosi et al, 2011). In these studies, the focus was on participants' responses to the content in the scale items and how these items had contributed to construct validity and reliability.…”

Abstract. Given the proliferation of online psychometric questionnaires on the Internet and other platforms, the design of online psychometrics becomes increasingly important to ensure good measurement properties. The current study reports four experiments testing how questionnaire layout and national culture affect people's responses to online questionnaires. Flow-and the disorientation scales for web navigation had good psychometric quality overall and across experimental manipulations of questionnaire layout, field dependence, national culture, response correction and question grouping. However, single-item layout (presenting one question at a time) had the advantage of faster completion than whole-form layout (presenting each page filled with items). Support was also found for the idea that whole form divides and thereby requires more attention to respond. Future research should be directed at online psychometrics on small and large displays.Keywords: psychometrics; online questionnaire; questionnaire layout; culture; dual tasking.Additional keywords: human-computer interaction, website, screen design. HighlightsDisorientation and flow scales for web navigation have good measurement quality Single-item layout leads to faster psychometric-questionnaire completion Single-item layout facilitates focusing attention in questionnaire completion National culture does not affect measurement quality 3
