VALIDATION OF THE CHINESE VERSIONS OF RSPE, PLOCQ, AND SESPE AMONG UNDERGRADUATE PHYSICAL EDUCATION STUDENTS
Abstract
This study aimed to translate, culturally adapt, and psychometrically validate three widely used psychological instruments in physical education—the Responsibility Scale in Physical Education (RSPE), the Perceived Locus of Causality Questionnaire (PLOCQ), and the Student Enjoyment of School Physical Education Scale (SESPE)—for application among Chinese undergraduate physical education (PE) students. A systematic validation procedure was employed, including translation and back-translation, expert content validation, reliability analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Data were collected from 182 undergraduate PE majors recruited from universities in Hubei and Fujian provinces, China.
