PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES OF THE SPANISH VERSION OF THE PERSONAL AND SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY QUESTIONNAIRE IN PHYSICAL EDUCATION CONTEXTS

The purpose of this study was to analyse the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Personal and Social Responsibility Queslionnaire (PSRQ), which assesses students' perception of personal and social responsibility in physical education. The sample was selected on the basis of convenience and consisted in 395 students, ages 9 to 15, from 10 primary and secondary schools in the Community of Valencia. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis supported the bifactorial structure proposed by its authors and its internal consistency coefficients were satisfactory. The correlations between the responsibility factors and intrinsic motivation were positive and statistically significant, which supported the validity of the criteria.
