The purpose of the current study was to test the validity and reliability of a two-factor model of the Personal and Social Responsibility Questionnaire (PSRQ) and examine the relationships between perceptions of personal and social responsibility and intrinsic motivation in physical education. Participants were 253 middle school students who completed the questionnaires. The results from a confirmatory factor analysis and internal consistency suggest the two-factor PSRQ is valid and reliable for assessing students’ perceptions of personal and social responsibility in physical education. The correlational analysis suggests that participants with higher levels of personal and social responsibility were likely to enjoy physical education more. An important implication for teaching practice is that, to encourage all individuals to be intrinsically motivated to participate in physical education, physical education teachers need to empower students with choices and voices, focus them on effort and self-direction in physical education, and create a respectful and caring learning environment.

AbstractThe teaching personal-social responsibility (TPSR) model is a well-established approach for developing positive social behaviors. However, today's research community has diagnosed the need to gather greater empirical evidence regarding the consistency of the evaluation tool in measuring personal-social responsibility levels. Thus, this study was geared towards testing the validity and reliability of a two factor model of the Personal and Social Responsibility Questionnaire (PSRQ) among athletes. A questionnaire was administered to 517 athletes, distributed into two representative samples of different competitive levels, sports and regions. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used to examine the PSRQ's factor structure. The scale showed good psychometric properties and the factor structure was stable in the two samples, providing evidence of cross validity. Implications and research directions of these results are discussed.

El objetivo de este estudio fue analizar la capacidad de predicción de la responsabilidad social, las necesidades psicológicas básicas y la motivación sobre la meta de aproximación a la amistad a partir de la Teoría de la Autodeterminación. Una muestra de 402 estudiantes (209 mujeres y 193 hombres; M = 14.20; DT = 1.52) de entre 12 y 18 años, procedentes de tres centros de educación secundaria del norte de España cumplimentaron un cuestionario que incluía la subescala de responsabilidad social del Cuestionario de la Responsabilidad Personal y Social (PSQR), la Escala de Necesidades Psicológicas Básicas en Educación Física (BPN-PE), la subescala de motivación intrínseca de la Escala del Locus Percibido de Casualidad (PLOC) y la subescala de aproximación-amistad del Cuestionario de Metas de Amistad (FGQ-PE). Los resultados del análisis de regresión lineal múltiple reflejaron que la responsabilidad social, las necesidades psicológicas básicas de relación y autonomía y la motivación intrínseca predecían significativamente la meta de aproximación-amistad. Estos resultados reflejan la importancia de crear contextos educativos en los que se potencie la responsabilidad social, las relaciones, la autonomía y la motivación intrínseca de los estudiantes con el objetivo de mejorar sus metas de amistad.Abstract. The goal of the present study was to assess social responsibility, basic psychological needs, and motivation towards friendship-approach goals within the Self-Determination Theory. A total of 404 students from three secondary schools of northern Spain (209 females and 193 males; M = 14.20; DT = 1.52), aged from 12 to 18 years, completed a questionnaire that included the social responsibility subscale of the Personal and Social Responsibility Questionnaire (PSQR), the Basic Psychological Needs in Physical Education Scale (BPN-PE), the subscale of intrinsic motivation of the Perceived Locus of Causality (PLOC), and the subscale of friendship-approach of the Friendship Goals Questionnaire in Physical Education (FGQ-PE). Results of multiple linear regression analysis showed that social responsibility, relatedness and autonomy, and intrinsic motivation significantly predicted friendship-approach goals. These results suggest the importance of creating educational contexts that can foster social responsibility, relatedness, autonomy, as well as students’ intrinsic motivation, with the aim to improve their friendship goals.

The purpose of this study was to examine physical education (PE) preservice teachers’ (PSTs) experiences applying the teaching personal and social responsibility model (TPSR) at the elementary level. Fuller’s (1969) theory of concern development served as a framework for this study. A purposive sample of nine PSTs (3 females, 6 males), majoring in PE teacher education, participated in the study. A focus group, observations, and diary reflections were used as data collection methods. Triangulation of the data and a member check process ensured the trustworthiness of the study. Results showed that PSTs were more prepared to teach the TPSR levels of helping others, effort, and autonomy at the elementary level. However, the level of respect was the most challenging level for PSTs to implement. Student misbehavior, planning, communication skills, and environmental factors emerged as practical instructional challenges in applying the TPSR. Finally, participants reported that the TPSR was vital and changed their beliefs regarding PE and contributes to developing values and life skills. Further research should address the concerns and gaps in the levels of respect and effort.

Background: Within the 3Cs (closeness, commitment, and complementarity) theoretical framework of the quality of two-person relationships, a coach–athlete relationship quality questionnaire (CART-Q) was developed and validated to assess the nature of the coach–athlete relationship. In this study, a modified version of the CART-Q for physical education (PE) was adapted to assess the teacher–student relationship quality in the PE context in Turkey and Kuwait. The purpose of this study was to examine the factorial validity of the teacher–student relationship quality questionnaire (TSRQ-PE) within a sample of Turkish and Kuwaiti physical education teachers. Methods: Multigroup confirmatory factor analysis (MGCFA) was used to test the measurement of cultural invariance between these two groups. A total of 175 teachers from Turkey (n = 73) and Kuwait (n = 102) completed the TPRQ-PE. Results: MGCFA supported the factorial validity of the TPRQ-PE in a three first-order factor model across the two countries. Overall, these results add evidence to the psychometric properties of the TPRQ-PE and suggest that this instrument can be applied to measure the quality of the teacher–student relationship within Turkey and Kuwait, although caution may be required when applied to drawing comparisons between these two counties. Conclusions: The results of the present study could help physical educators and researchers in this field to understand the reasons and methods that lead to a quality teacher–student relationship.

Purpose: To examine the impact of undertaking roles in Sport Education on responsibility levels of elementary school students. Method: Forty-one fifth- and sixth-grade students participated in a 15-lesson season. Students undertook five different roles into the Sport Education season and presented differing initial perceived responsibility scores. Results: Results in this study convey students’ responsibility improvements for both personal and social responsibility during a season of Sport Education. There are differences in students with low perceived responsibility depending on the role they undertake, whereas students with high perceived responsibility do not present any difference according to the role they perform. Conclusion: In the physical education context, the teachers have to consider the personal characteristics of the students in the process of mapping students to roles.

The aim of this research was to determine the level of values related to the subject of physical education and sport with self-reported personal and social responsibility behaviours in students studying in secondary school and to examine the relationship between them. For this purpose, this study, which was carried out with the participation of 1138 secondary school students from 13 different secondary schools in Balıkesir/Turkey, was conducted with a multi-factor predictive correlational design. “Physical Education and Sports Lesson Value Scale” and “Personal and Social Responsibility Behaviours Scale” were used in collecting the data. Pearson correlation analysis and multiple linear regression analysis were used in the analysis of the data. It was determined that students’ values related to the subject of physical education and sport with their self-reported personal and social responsibility behaviours were at a high level. When the mean scores in the sub-dimensions of the scale of values related to the subject of physical education and sport are examined, it is seen that the most important values were considered to be awareness and respect, in that order, and that the values with the lowest mean scores were sports culture and national culture and unity. According to the results of multiple linear regression analysis, the values of respect, awareness, healthy life and nutrition, national culture and unity, solidarity, and sports culture explained 42 and 47% of the variance personal and social responsibility, respectively. As a result, it can be said that physical education and sport values are important variables in predicting the self-reported personal and social responsibility behaviours of secondary school students.

Introduction and Purpose: UNESCO stated that literacy in the most general sense should include not only reading and writing, but also components of knowledge, thinking, communication, language, culture, and social practice (as cited in Lounsbery & McKenzie 2015). The main purpose of this study is to examine the perceived sports literacy of physical education teachers, trainers, and sports managers in terms of various variables. Furthermore, the validity and reliability level of the scale used in the study, developed by Sum et al., (2016) and adapted into Turkish by Ülker (2019), is examined in the subject group.Method: 103 physical education teachers, 55 trainers and 28 sports managers working in Manisa participated in the study. The “Perceived Sports Literacy Scale” (PSLS) and “Personal Information Form” were used to obtain the data. The data were evaluated using the Mann-Whitney test and Kruskal-Wallis test, internal consistency for reliability, and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) for construct validity.Results: The gender and team supporter variables did not make a difference to PSLS scores. PSLS scores in all sub-dimensions were found to be higher and significant for those who did regular physical activity (RPA) compared to those who did not, while “confidence in psychomotor knowledge and ability” and “communication and lifelong sports consciousness” scores of trainers were found to be higher and significant compared to those of other occupational groups. As a result of the EFA and CFA analysis, it was seen that the scale was divided into 17 items and 3 sub-dimensions.Conclusion: It was concluded that doing RFA and being a trainer were effective in having higher PSLS scores than those of other participants, while the gender and team supporter variables were ineffective. The scale is a measurement tool that provides psychometric qualities to measure the sports literacy levels of sports sector employees.
