Validade e confiabilidade do questionário Sport Motivation Scale-II (SMS-II): revisão sistemática

ObjectiveTo analyze the validity and reliability of the Sport Motivation Scale-II in studies that used its original or translated versions.MethodSystematic review was carried out in PubMed, Web of Science, Scientific Electronic Library Online, Literatura Latino-Americana e do Caribe em Ciências da Saúde, Psychnfo, SportDiscuss, and Periódico CAPES databases following Prisma recommendation.ResultsThe twenty-eight studies included in this review show that the instrument is well accepted by the scientific community. The translation and adaptation showed satisfactory to borderline goodness-of-fits. The results indicate that the introjected regulation factor, one of the six instrument’s factors, is the cause of these borderlines scores. In the translation and adaptation studies, the introjected regulation has showed systematically unsatisfactory internal consistency. There is evidence that the model without introjected regulation factor reached higher goodness-of-fit scores.ConclusionWe recommend the presence of a linguist to support the translation and adaptation of the instrument.
