| Sumario: | The main goal of this study was to examine the ex-tent to which psychometric properties from the Basic Psy-chological Needs in Exercise Scale (BPNES) are invariant across samples of Argentine, Spanish and Colombian phys-ical education students. The questionnaire was distributed to 1153 students (44.6% male) from ages 13 to 16 (M = 14.68; SD = 1.09). Confirmatory factor analyses carried out in independent samples revealed suitable psychometric properties in the three samples. Multi-sample confirmatory factor analyses showed that factor structure, factor load-ings and intercepts can be considered invariant across the groups. However, residual variances were found to be dif-ferent across some of the samples. Findings are discussed in terms of internal consistency and differences observed be-tween the three samples. Findings support valid cross-cul-tural comparisons using BPNES. |
