Abstract des Autors
This study investigated the validity of the factor structure of the Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire (TEOSQ,. Duda & Nicholls, 1992) with male (n-218) and female (n-203) Thai intercollegiate athletes. Confirmatory factor analysis on both male and female measurement models supported the two-factor structure (task and ego) as conceptualized in Goal Perspective Theory (Nicholls, 1989). Testings for the factor covariances across gender revealed partial measurement invariance as reflected in the differences in factor loadings. Assuming partial factorial invariance, subsequent tests for the differences on latent mean constructs indicated that male athletes scored higher in task orientation while female athletes scored higher in ego orientation. Theoretical, methodological, and future research implications of the findings are discussed. Verf.-Referat
