The main objective of this study was to establish content validity evidences in the Motor Coordination Test with Ball (MCTB). Four Ph.D. professors and former sports coaches with academic experience in the motor coordination area took part of the validation process as experts. The experts assessed four motor tasks and graded using the Likert scale from one to five for criteria of clarity of language, practice relevance, and theoretical relevance. The content validity coefficient (CVC) has been used to determine the CVCc of each task and the CVCt for the instrument as a whole, adopting as a cutoff CVCc .70 and CVCt .80. The results showed good agreement among experts concerning “clarity of language” (CVC= .89), “practice relevance” (CVC= .81), and theoretical relevance (CVC= .86). For “practice relevance” of images and videos of task execution, there has been observed CVCt of .86 and CVCt of .95, respectively. When requested the order of relevance of coordination pressures, the agreement among experts presented the existence of at least four coordination pressures in each one of the tasks and, out of these, at least two had a higher relevance. After the calculation of the CVC, ecological validity was determined for the MCTB, accrediting it as an instrument for the assessment of motor coordination with ball in the context of sports games.

“…Since the original publication, the results have been replicated in numerous countries, with various translations and adaptations to various life domains [ 4 ]. The general version of the scale has been validated in, among others, Japanese [ 28 ], Portuguese [ 29 ], Hebrew [ 30 ] Polish [ 31 ]and Arabic [ 32 ]. Then, the need of studies in the work environment made researchers prepare a scale for this purpose [ 33 ].…”

The basic psychological needs satisfaction and frustration scale at work: A validation in the Polish language

et al. 2021

The aim of this research project was to validate the work-related version of the Basic Psychological Need Satisfaction and Frustration Scale (BPNSFS) into the Polish language and culture. Although studies have demonstrated the benefits associated with basic psychological need satisfaction and the costs associated with need frustration at work, the concept of needs has been neglected both in Polish scientific research and in practical organizational studies. The adaptation of the BPNSFS-Work Domain may change this situation and stimulate research in the Polish community. The scale has been validated in a sample consisting of three occupational groups: healthcare workers, education staff and customer service workers (N = 1315, Mage = 43.8). The findings suggest that the Polish scale has robust psychometric features. The CFA analysis proves that the scale has a six-dimensional structure similar to the original scale. These dimensions show satisfactory to high Cronbach’s α and McDonalds ω reliability, and high criterion validity is shown by association of the six need dimensions with correlates of both positive (i.e., engagement, job crafting and self-efficacy) and negative aspects of work (i.e., burnout and stress). The structure of the scale is the same in all three occupational groups, although the regression weights and covariances are only partially invariant. The validated version of the BPNSFS-Work Domain can be used in future basic and applied studies in the paradigm of self-determination theory.

“…However, the Basic Psychological Need in Exercise Scale (BPNES) created and validated by Vlachopoulos and Michailidou (2006) continues to be the most widely used instrument in assessing autonomy, competence, and relatedness satisfaction in physical activity domains. Thus, the BPNES has been translated and validated for several cultures, namely: Portuguese (Moutão et al.,s, 2012), Spanish (Moreno-Murcia et al., 2012; Sánchez & Núñez, 2007), Greek (Vlachopoulos & Neikou, 2007), British (Vlachopoulos & Neikou, 2007), Brazilian (Costa et al., 2017), and Turkish (Vlachopoulos et al., 2013). In addition, research studies have consistently shown this instrument to be equivalent across gender (Vlachopoulos, 2008) and cultures (Cid et al., 2016; Costa et al., 2017; Vlachopoulos et al., 2010, 2013).…”

Specifically in Portugal, this scale has been psychometrically evaluated in several domains, such as exercise (Moutão et al., 2012), physical education (Pires et al., 2010), and sports (Monteiro et al., 2016).…”

Re-Applying the Basic Psychological Needs in Exercise Scale to Various Portuguese Exercise Groups: An Analysis of Bifactor Models and Contextual Invariance

et al. 2021

This research explored the nature of basic psychological needs in physical activity settings by applying relatively advanced methodological procedures for psychometric assessment. We first re-examined the Basic Psychological Needs in Exercise Scale (BPNES) by reviewing its applicability for physical activity domains among Portuguese respondents. We demonstrated the use of Bifactor Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Exploratory Structural Equation Modeling (ESEM) and discussed the practical implications of these models. Next, we tested contextual measurement invariance in order to examine needs universality. Our participants were gym exercisers (n = 1935), physical education students (n = 1449), and athletes (n = 1631), all of whom completed the adapted and validated version of the scale in their respective practice physical activity domains. All models under analysis displayed acceptable to excellent fit; the bifactor ESEM model displayed the best fit. We conducted ancillary bifactor measures to assess scale dimensionality and found that the BPNES is best interpreted as a multidimensional instrument. Through testing for multigroup analysis, the bifactor ESEM did not show contextual invariance. In conclusion, the BPNES should be predominantly used as a multidimensional instrument when assessing basic needs in separate physical activity domains. Basic psychological needs are perceived differently between seemingly similar physical activity contexts. Researchers should measure basic needs as a global factor and use context validated sub-scales.
