Psychometric Properties and Measurement Invariance of the 3×2 Achievement Goals Questionnaire for Exercise (3×2 AGQ-E) among Chinese Mainland adolescents
Abstrct
This study aimed to evaluate the psychometric characteristics of the 3×2 Achievement Goals Questionnaire for Exercise (3×2 AGQ-E) tailored for Chinese mainland adolescents in an exercise context. Participants included adolescents from junior and senior high schools across mainland China. study investigation focused on factorial validity, discriminant validity, internal consistency reliability, and measurement invariance across gender and academic levels of the 3×2 AGQ-E. Confirmatory factor analysis upheld the proposed multi-dimensional structure (CFI = .0.992, TLI = 0.972, RMSEA = 0.042). Inter-factor correlations, examined within a 95% confidence interval, underscored the discriminant validity of the 3×2 AGQ-E, indicating its capability to assess interconnected yet distinct constructs. The instrument demonstrated excellent internal consistency (Cronbach's α>0.80). The nomological validity was supported by a consistent pattern in inter-factor correlations. Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis suggested robust measurement invariance, with consistent factor loadings and variances-covariances across genders (△=0.000 to 0.007) and academic levels (△= 0.001 to 0.014). This research provides crucial psychometric support for the 3×2 AGQ-E, enhancing its utility for future research and application in understanding achievement motivations among Chinese mainland adolescents in the context of exercise and physical activities.

The advent of cinema brought with it its use as a propaganda device with which to transmit ideals and doctrines. As a result, newsreels and cinema documentaries were born with the aim of showing the «most relevant» news of the country and abroad, the former with a shorter duration. In this study, the Spanish NO-DO and «Sucesos Argentinos» are used as primary sources to interpret the images and imaginaries that were projected between 1943 and 1955 on female physical culture. The intention is to understand the official discourse of both political regimes on what Argentinean and Spanish society should be like, especially by questioning those meanings about women. In total, 69 issues of NO-DO and 14 editions of «Sucesos Argentinos» have been found which aim to show female physical culture in this period. The female physical culture shown in both newsreels was aimed at strengthening women’s bodies so that they could carry out their «natural functions» (mother, wife, housewife), as well as highlighting their «inferiority» in relation to men through lower impact activities and the homogenization of bodies through clothing, and the performance of the same exercises in synchrony. And all this in countries with different regimes, but which, in the end, coincided.
