Validación del Cuestionario de metas de logro 2 × 2 en Educación Física

The goal of this article is to validate the 2×2 Achievement Goal Questionnaire in Physical Education (2×2 AGPEQ) from Wang et al. (2007). There is another version of this questionnaire validated by Moreno et al. (2008), but these authors used the Guan, Xiang, McBride and Bruene (2006) version, and different items have been detected between the two original instruments. The questionnaire presented in this article introduces two innovations: a review of the content validity of the avoidance-performance subscale (its interpersonal character has been specified consistent with the theoretical framework), and a 5-point likert scale (it simplifies subjects' response and it fits better the different references in the Spanish context). 269 adolescent students participated in the study. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the factor structure of the 2×2 goal achievement framework in the physical education context. Internal reliability and discriminant validity were appropriate. The questionnaire showed high concurrent validity regarding several variables associated to the achievement goals such as the different motivational regulations. This instrument can be of great help for the study of 2×2 goal motivation, because it makes more visible the differences among constructs.
