Propiedades psicométricas de la Escala de Motivación en el Deporte revisada (SMS-II) adaptada al español hablado en México.

Abstract

El objetivo de este estudio fue examinar las propiedades psicométricas (estructura factorial, fiabilidad, validez de constructo) de una versión en español hablado en México de la Escala de Motivación en el Deporte revisada (SMS-II) compuesta por 18 ítems que miden seis factores de regulación conductual planteados por la teoría de la autodeterminación, y probar un modelo que permitiese evaluar la motivación autónoma y la motivación controlada. Participaron 279 deportistas de alto rendimiento con una edad promedio de 23.15 años (DT = 5.58), quienes respondieron a una versión en español hablado en México de la SMS-II. Los resultados apoyaron el modelo de seis factores de primer orden (motivación intrínseca, regulación integrada, regulación identificada, regulación introyectada, regulación externa, y desmotivación) tras la eliminación de un ítem; y los datos de consistencia interna superaron o estuvieron al límite de los criterios de uso en cinco factores. Cuando las regulaciones motivacionales se combinaron para conformar un modelo trifactorial, dos de sus factores de segundo orden (motivación autónoma y motivación controlada) más un factor de primer orden (desmotivación), se soportó dicho modelo, y la consistencia interna de los factores fue adecuada. En conclusión se ofrece validez factorial y de constructo de esta versión en español hablado en México de la Escala de Motivación en el Deporte revisada con la exclusión un ítem, y puede utilizarse para la medición de la motivación controlada y autónoma en el deporte de alto rendimiento, aunque se requiere de mayor estudio para mejorar el instrumento. The aim of this study was to analyze the psychometric properties (factorial structure, reliability, construct validity) of a Mexican Spanish version of the revised Sport Motivation Scale (SMS-II), which is composed of 18 items that measure six factors of behavioral regulation. Such factors were suggested by the Self-determination Theory in order to prove a model that allows the assessment of Autonomous and Controlled Motivation. The study involved 279 high performance athletes with an average age of 23.15 years old (SD = 5.58), who answered the Mexican Spanish Version of the SMS-II. After eliminating one of the items, the results supported the six major factor model (intrinsic motivation, integrated regulation, identified regulation, introjected regulation, external regulation and amotivation); and the internal consistent data exceeded or were under the limit of the usage criteria in five of the factors. After the motivational regulations were combined in order to form a three-factor model, two of the minor factors (autonomous and controlled motivation) plus one major factor (amotivation), such model was supported and the internal consistency of the factors was appropriate. In conclusion, the Mexican Spanish version of the SMS-II offers factorial structure and construct validity, excluding one of the items. Thus, it can be used for assessing autonomous and controlled motivation in elite athletes, even though further res...

Spanish Adaptation and Psychometric Properties of the Sport Motivation Scale-II with High School Physical Education Students

“…In relation to the hypothesis, the results obtained after and analysis of the psychometric properties show adequate validity and reliability levels in the six first-order factors with 18 items, except for AMO and INTEGR, which is line with the results in Viciana et al [53], Pineda-Espejel et al [52], and Beddoes [80], in demotivation and introjected regulation). However, it is worth noting that in Viciana et al [53], for sports, Cronbach’s alpha, Omega, and AVE values for INTEGR (0.686, 0.696, 0.434, respectively) and EXTR (0.536, 0.552, 0.300, respectively) were inadequate.…”

“…The CFA results were also adequate, both for absolute and incremental fit indices, in line with other studies, such as Pelletier et al [46], Pineda-Espejel et al [52], and Viciana et al [53]. The latter study found similar RMSEA and CFI values, though they improved in their five-factor model with the elimination of some problematic items (RMSEA = 0.044; CFI = 0.966).…”

“…As reflected in the Introduction section, there are previous versions of the SMS in Spanish, both in the sports context [79] and in physical education [55]. However, in terms of the new version—the SMS-II by Pelletier et al [46]—only adaptations of this instrument to sports exist up to now in Spanish [52,53]. It is worth noting here that this SMS-II version involves a reduction of the original instruments to 18 items, with the INTEGR factor as a new inclusion, which had been criticized by Mallet et al [41,44], among others.…”

“…The psychometric properties of this new version were object of analysis for adaptations to other languages and cultures, but in sports contexts in all cases: Swedish [47]; the Brazilian-Portuguese context [48]; Chinese [49]; French [50]; Turkish [51]; and also Spanish versions in Mexico [52] and Spain [53].…”

Analysis of the Uncertainty in the relationship between Self-Determined Motivation and competitive Anxiety in dual-career students: Application of Information Theory and Bayesian Networks

“…Competitive anxiety in sport was measured using the Spanish-language adaptation (Escala de Ansiedad Competitiva, [29] of the Sport Anxiety Scale 2 (SAS-2) [30]. The SAS-2 consists of three 5-item scales to measure three factors: somatic anxiety, worry, and lack of concentration or deconcentration.…”
