1 JOURNAL OF SPORT & EXERCISE PSYCHOLOGY, 1988, 10, Reliability and Factor Structure of the Achievement Motivation in Physical Education Test Tamotsu Nishida Nagoya University To investigate the reliability of the Achievement Motivation in Physical Education Test (AMPET) and reexamine its factor structure, 10,055 elementary, junior high, and high school students in Japan were tested. The AMPET has seven &item subscales consisting of learning strategy (LS), overcoming obstacles (OO), diligence and seriousness (DS), competence of motor ability (CMA), value of learning (VL), anxiety about stress-causing situations (ASCS), and failure anxiety (FA), respectively. The ASCS and FA subscales are associated with negative aspects of the AMPET, while the other five subscales are related to positive aspects. The AMPET also contains an 8-item lie scale. The subjekwere asked to respond along 5-point Likert rating scales. Item-subscale correlations of the AMPET were sufficiently high. Alpha reliabilities ranged from.797 to.950, and test-retest reliabilities after 5 weeks were.651 to.883. Elementary school pupils showed significantly higher mean scores on the positive aspects of the AMPET than junior high and high school students. The means of female students on the negative aspects of the AMPET were significantly higher than those of male students. Seven factors were extracted from the principal components factor analysis with normal varimax rotation. Each factor was composed of the seven different subscales of the AMPET. In previous publications, Nishida (1986, 1987) has developed a multidimensional achievement motivation model for learning in physical education. The model is primarily based upon the theories of Atkinson (1964), McClelland, Atkinson, Clark, and Lowell (1953), and Weiner (1972), but Nishida has added the two dimensions of "giving directions" and "other influential factors" (see Figure 1). The relationships among the various dimensions specified in Figure 1 have been suggested by previous research and theories concerning (a) factors that constitute motivation/will to win in sport (Nishida & Inomata, 1981; Pezer & Brown, 1980; Rushall & Fox, 1980; Tutko & Tosi, 1976; Willis, 1982), and Requests for reprints should be sent to Tarnotsu Nishida, Research Center of Health, Physical Fitness and Sports, Nagoya University, Furo-cho, Chikusa-ku, Nagoya Japan.

3 420 / Nishida achievement motivation (Atkinson & Feather, 1966; Hayashi, 1967; McClelland et al., 1953; Miyamoto, 1981), (b) behavioral characteristics associated with individuals at various levels of achievement motivation (Atkinson, 1964; Atkinson & Raynor, 1974; Hayashi & Yamauchi, 1978; Miyamoto, 1979; Nishida, 1985), and (c) factors included in accepted measures of achievement motivation (Herrenkahl, 1972; Mehrabian, 1969; Shimoyama, 1974). According to Nishida's model, people having general achievement motivation will be directed toward learning in physical education by emotional factors (interest in learning and intellectual curiosity), consciousness of value (sense of value of learning and necessity for learning), self-evaluation of motor ability, and past experiences (success or failure). High need-achievers for learning in physical education will manifest behaviors such as positive attitude toward learning, accepting challenges in learning, devising of learning methods, appropriate goal setting, and overcoming obstacles. Low need-achievers will feel anxiety about failure and stressful situations in physical education. Following achievement behaviors, people evaluate their performance and search for causes for their perceived success or failure. Their self-evaluations will reciprocally influence (feedback to) the dimensions of "giving directions" and "manifest behaviors." Furthermore, factors such as coolness, willingness to follow, intellectual ability, social relationship, and diligence and seriousness will have an effect on "manifest behaviors" and "self-evaluation. " As a first step in measuring achievement motivation for learning in physical education, Nishida (1987) attempted to construct a self-report test, the Achievement Motivation in Physical Education Test (AMPET), based on the structure of achievement motivation shown in Figure 1. Original items of the AMPET were developed by research and theories previously described in constructing the model in Figure 1. An item analysis and factor analysis of the original items reduced the number of items from 83 to 64. The following seven factors were extracted by the principal components factor analysis: (a) learning strategy-instrumental activities in achievement situations; (b) overcoming obstacles-effort to perform well; (c) diligence and seriousness-normative attitude toward learning; (d) competence of motor ability-sense of competence or self-confidence of motor ability; (e) value of learning-sense or consciousness of value of learning; (f) anxiety about stress-causing situations-tension or stage fright in achievement situations; and (g) failure anxiety-anxiety about failure or lack of self-confidence. It was considered that these seven were principal or essential factors in measuring achievement motivation for learning in physical education, and that they might permit the examination of individual differences in achievement motivation. It was the purpose of this study to investigate the reliability of the AMPET instrument and to reexamine the factor structure of the scale by administering the AMPET to a large group, ranging from elementary school pupils to high school students. Method Subjects Subjects were 10,055 pupils (see Table 1) ranging from the 4th to 12th grades. In the Japanese educational system, grades 1 to 6 correspond to elementary school, grades 7 to 9 to junior high school, and grades 10 to 12 to high school.

The AMPET consists of seven &item subscales and an &item lie scale. The learning strategy (LS), overcoming obstacles (OO), diligence and seriousness (DS), competence of motor ability (CMA), and value of learning (VL) subscales are related to positive aspects of the achievement motivation for learning in physical education, or tendency to achieve success. The anxiety about stress-causing situations (ASCS) and failure anxiety (FA) subscales are associated with negative aspects of the achievement motivation, or tendency to avoid failure. The lie scale of the AMPET is included in order to check response accuracy. The AMPET was administered to the students under the supervision of teachers in each school. The students were asked to respond to all items of the AMPET by using 5-point Likert rating scales with 5 representing "strongly agree" and 1 representing "strongly disagree. " After the students completed the AM- PET, the data were collected by mail. Item Analysis Results Item-subscale correlation coefficients for all subjects are shown in Table 2. Each item was correlated with all other items combined within a subscale. Most of these correlations were sufficiently high, suggesting high item homogeneity within each AMPET subscale. Reliability For each subscale, Cronbach's alpha reliabilities were computed as a function of educational level and these are summarized in Table 3. The tendency-toachieve-success score is the total of scores on the LS, 00, DS, CMA, and VL subscales. The tendency-to-avoid-failure score is the total of scores on the ASCS and FA subscales. Alpha reliabilities ranged from.797 to.950. Test-retest reliability coefficients with a 5-week interval between initial and final testing were.651 to.883 (see Table 3). These reliabilities appear to be sufficiently high to warrant use of the AMPET scores with groups and for research purposes.

Correlation coefficients Anxiety about stress-causing situations , Failure anxiety 31, Mean Scores on Each Subscale Means and standard deviations for pupils classified by schools are shown in Table 4, which also shows F ratios and multiple comparisons from a one-way analysis of variance for the three groups on the AMPET subscales. All of these analyses were significant. The levels of statistical significance might have resulted, in part, from the large size of the sample. Concerning the positive aspects of achievement motivation for learning in physical education (the LS, 00, DS, CMA, VL subscales and tendency to achieve success), the means of elementary school pupils were significantly higher than those of junior high and high school students. Also, the means of junior high school pupils on the 00, CMA, VL subscales and tendency to achieve success were significantly higher than the means of high school students. Gender differences on the AMPET subscales for all subjects are presented in Table 5. According to these results, with the exception of the DS subscale, boys were significantly higher on the positive aspects of achievement motivation than girls. On the other hand, girls, in comparison to boys, show significantly higher mean scores on the negative aspects of achievement motivation (the ASCS, FA subscales and tendency to avoid failure). Similar results were obtained for elementary, junior high, and high school students. Factor Structure of the AMPET Seven factors were extracted by the principal components factor analysis from the correlation matrix of the subscales. These factors were rotated using Kaiser's normalized varimax criterion yielding the factor pattern shown in Table 6.

Diligence and seriousness 4. Competence of motor ability 5. Value of learning 6. Anxiety about stress-causing situations 7. Failure anxiety Tendency to achieve success Tendency to avoid failure As shown in Table 6, each factor represented one of the seven AMPET subscales. These factors were diligence and seriousness, value of learning, competence of motor ability, anxiety about stress-causing situations, learning strategy, failure anxiety, and overcoming obstacles, respectively. The factor patterns for each group (e.g., male, female, elementary school, junior high school, and high school) were almost identical to those of all subjects combined. As a result of the factor analyses, it was concluded that the AMPET had seven different subscales. Discussion In view of the data presented in this paper, it is evident that the AMPET instrument has reasonable alpha and test-retest reliabilities for each educational level. Therefore, if future research establishes validity, AMPET may then be used for assessing individual or group motive levels. Elementary school pupils showed significantly higher scores on the positive aspects of the AMPET than junior high and high school students. This result is consistent with the findings of the Motive of Academic Achievement Test (Fujiwara & Shimoyama, 1969). The higher motivation of elementary school pupils may be attributed to their higher need for activity. In comparison to boys, girls showed significantly higher scores on the negative aspects of the AMPET.

10 Achievement Motivation in P.E. Test Table 6 A Rotated Factor Pattern of the AMPET for All Subjects Factor Subscale LS DS CM A VL ASCS FA This higher anxiety for girls supports previous studies examining anxiety (Martens, 1977; Spielberger, 1966). Factor analysis of the AMPET yielded seven factors. These seven factors were completely consistent with the seven dimensions, which were determined a priori by means of an analysis of relevant research literature (Nishida, 1987). Also, the pattern of factor loadings did not indicate any overlap among factors, suggesting that the seven different AMPET subscales are independent of each other. The seven factors/subscales of the AMPET are related to the dimensions of the model specified in Figure 1. The LS subscale, for example, is concerned with such factors as devising of learning method, appropriate goal setting, and planning in learning within the dimension of "manifest behaviors." The 00, ASCS, and FA subscales correspond to overcoming obstacles, anxiety about stresscausing situations, and failure anxiety within manifest behaviors, respectively. The CMA subscale is related to self-evaluation of motor ability, and the VL subscale to sense of value of learning within "giving directions." The DS subscale is associated with diligence and seriousness within "other influential factors." Such factors extracted by the factor analysis are very important for learning in physical education classes. It is easy for those high in the LS, 00, DS, CMA, and VL subscales, and low in the anxiety subscales, to attain learning aims or improve motor skills in physical education classes. The factor patterns for each group (male, female, elementary school, junior high school, high school) were almost identical. This suggests that applicability of the AMPET is not limited to a specific group but may be generalized to a somewhat broader heterogeneous group. The results also suggest greater economy in that groups differing in age and gender could be tested using only one scale (the AMPET), and that these groups could be compared using the same criteria. The AMPET subscales consist of two aspects of achievement motivation for learning in physical education: "tendency to achieve success" and "tendency to avoid failure." Based on the relative strength of these two tendencies, stu-

11 428 / Nishida dents could be classified into several types. For example, a student who has a high tendency to achieve success and a low tendency to avoid failure could be classified as "high achieving type," high and high as "conflict type," low and high as "high anxiety type," low and low as "calm type," moderate and moderate as "average type," and so forth. Future investigations are necessary to test the validity of the AMPET as well as the possible typologies that can be created with the instrument. References Atkinson, J.W. (1964).

13 430 / Nishida Appendix (cont.) 23. Before a game, I am often worried about losing. 24. I have never wanted to avoid participation in P.E. class. 25. In P.E. class, I try to devise some ways to perform well like imitating the good players. 26. I try to improve during practice, even if it's a difficult sport for me. 27. I usually listen to what my teacher says. 28. Until now, I have done well in many sports without really trying. 29. I think that I have to practice hard to perform well in sports. 30. In front of others, my heart pounds, causing my performance level to drop. 31. I worry about performing well in workouts, in the way which my teacher indicated. 32.
