Psychometric Properties and Measurements Invariance of the Behavioural Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire-2 (BREQ-2) among Chinese Mainland Adolescents
Abstrct
The objective of this study is to conduct a thorough assessment of the psychometric properties and measurement consistency of the Behavioural Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire-2 in a sample of adolescents from Mainland China. This research project involves recruiting 350 middle and high school students to conduct a thorough assessment of internal consistency and discriminant validity. The methods used include confirmatory factor analysis and multi-group confirmatory factor analysis. In addition, the study examines the consistency of these measures among various genders and educational backgrounds. The findings indicated that the students' motivation levels were moderately high, as evidenced by the internal consistency coefficients ranging from 0.818 to 0.903 for the subscales. The confirmatory factor analysis provided strong evidence for a 5-factor structure, as indicated by the satisfactory fit indices (CFI = 0.972, RMSEA = 0.046). Also, the measurement invariance tests demonstrated the stability of the factors across various genders and academic groups (ΔCFI < 0.01). The results of this study confirm the effectiveness of the Behavioural Regulation in Exercise Questionnaire-2 as a valuable tool for evaluating exercise motivation regulation among young individuals in Mainland China. This reinforces the tool's usefulness for future scholarly research as well as its practical application in educational and developmental settings.

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.
