Abstract

The aim of the present research was to translate and to analyze the psychometric properties of the Spanish version of the Satisfaction of Psychological Needs Scale, using a sample of 284 athletes (204 male and 78 female). Results of the confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the correlated three-factor structure of the scale. Furthermore, the results showed evidence of convergence validity with the Basic Psychological Needs in Exercise Scale. The predictive validity was tested using a structural equation model in which task orientation climate predicted the three basic psychological needs and these, in turn, intrinsic motivation. Likewise, we documented evidence of reliability, analyzed as internal consistency and temporal stability. Results partially support the use of the Spanish version of the scale in sports.

El propósito de esta investigación fue traducir y analizar las propiedades psicométricas de la versión española de la Échelle de Satisfaction des Besoins Psychologiques en una muestra de 284 deportistas (204 hombres y 78 mujeres). Los resultados del análisis factorial confirmatorio confirmaron la estructura de tres factores correlacionados de la escala. Asimismo, se obtuvieron resultados que evidenciaron validez convergente con el Basic Psycological Needs in Exercise Scale y validez predictiva mediante un análisis de ecuaciones estructurales en el que el clima tarea predecía las tres necesidades psicológicas básicas y éstas, a su vez, la motivación intrínseca. Asimismo, se documentan evidencias de fiabilidad, analizada como consistencia interna y estabilidad temporal. Los resultados apoyan preliminarmente el uso de la versión española en el contexto deportivo.
