Abstract

The present study was conducted first, to design and validate a measure of stroke grounded in Transactional Analysis theory and second, to examine its relationship with motivation. To do so, a total number of 348 individuals completed a stroke scale along with a motivation measure. Several statistical procedures were taken to validate the scale. First, uni-dimensionality of the scale was examined using Rasch analysis. Then, Exploratory Factor Analysis was used to determine the underlying factors of the scale. The results indicated that the scale can be best explained by a four-factor solution. Finally, these results were confirmed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Moreover, the relationship between stroke and motivation was explored. Findings indicated that stroke is positively related to extrinsic and intrinsic motivation and negatively related to amotivation. In the end, the results were discussed and implications of the scale were presented.
