The aim of the study was to examine the construct validity and
internal consistency of the Motivational Climate in Physical
Education Scale (MCPES). A key element of the development
process of the scale was establishing a theoretical framework
that integrated the dimensions of task- and ego involving climates
in conjunction with autonomy, and social relatedness
supporting climates. These constructs were adopted from the
self-determination and achievement goal theories. A sample of
Finnish Grade 9 students, comprising 2,594 girls and 1,803
boys, completed the 18–item MCPES during one physical education
class. The results of the study demonstrated that participants
had highest mean in task-involving climate and the lowest
in autonomy climate and ego-involving climate. Additionally,
autonomy, social relatedness, and task-involving climates were
significantly and strongly correlated with each other, whereas
the ego-involving climate had low or negligible correlations
with the other climate dimensions.The construct validity of the
MCPES was analyzed using confirmatory factor analysis. The
statistical fit of the four-factor model consisting of motivational
climate factors supporting perceived autonomy, social relatedness,
task-involvement, and ego-involvement was satisfactory.
The results of the reliability analysis showed acceptable internal
consistencies for all four dimensions. The Motivational Climate
in Physical Education Scale can be considered as psychometrically
valid tool to measure motivational climate in Finnish
Grade 9 students.
