Abstract

Introduction: The motivational climate relates to the athlete's perception of the modes, structures and expectations of a situation that directs the growth of specific goal-oriented through the transfer of self-directed and motivational motivations. The purpose of this study was determining validity and reliability of the Persian version of the coach-created Empowering and Disempowering Motivational Climate Questionnaire (EDMCQ-C).
Materials and Methods: In this research, 335 boys and girls (boys: 235 and girls: 100) with skill various levels were selected to complete the Persian version of the coach-created Empowering and Disempowering Motivational Climate Questionnaire, randomly. Confirmatory factor analysis based on structural equations was used for validation of the structure of the questionnaire, the Cronbach alpha coefficient was used for internal consistency of the questionnaire, and intra-class correlation coefficient under test-retest method was used to study the temporal reliability of items.
Results: The results showed that the brief resilience Scale had has acceptable fit index (RMSEA=0.07, CFI=0.88, TLI= 0.86), internal consistency، and temporal reliability (0.77), indicating good validity and reliability of the Persian version of the coach-created Empowering and Disempowering Motivational Climate Questionnaire.
Conclusion: Based in the results, the Persian version of the coach-created Empowering and Disempowering Motivational Climate Questionnaire has acceptable validity and reliability among Iranian adults and has potential to be as valid and reliable instrument the usability by trainers, and researchers.
