Abstract

Although a number of factor analytic studies have been conducted on the factorial validity of the Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire (TEOSQ), the results have been equivocal. To further substantiate its evidence of validity, this study cross-validated the measurement model using a rigorous structural equation modeling (SEM) approach. Data collected from a college student sample were first analyzed on a calibration sample (n = 439). Results confirmed the two-factor orthogonal structure representing the underlying task and ego orientations. The results were cross-validated on a validation sample (n = 439) using various SEM-based cross-validation procedures. Collectively, these findings support the construct validity of the TEOSQ as a measure of achievement goal orientation.
