了解儿童的体育活动动机，其前因和协会与行为是重要的，可以通过使用自我决定理论。然而，对青年的研究主要限于青少年和某些背景下的动机研究（例如，体育）。有没有措施的自我决定理论的结构（身体活动的动机或心理需求的满足）中使用的儿童和以前的研究已经测试了自我决定理论为基础的模型儿童的身体活动的动机。本研究的目的是测试的可靠性和有效性的分数来自量表适应测量儿童的自我决定理论的结构和测试的动机模型预测的加速度计衍生的身体活动。对来自英国布里斯托20所小学的462名7 ~ 11岁儿童的横断面数据进行了分析。采用验证性因素分析方法对行为调节量表和心理需求满足量表进行结构效度检验。结构方程模型被用来测试横截面之间的关联心理需求的满足，动机类型和身体活动评估加速度计。动机和心理需求满足测量的结构效度和信度得到支持。结构方程模型提供了证据的动机模型中，心理需求的满意度与内在的和确定的动机类型和内在动机正相关，与儿童的分钟在中度到剧烈的体力活动。这项研究提供了证据的动机与自我决定理论的儿童对齐的措施的心理测量特性。儿童的动机，是基于享受和内在的满意度的身体活动是与他们的客观评估的身体活动，这种动机是积极的心理需求满足的看法。这些心理因素代表了增加儿童身体活动的干预措施的潜在可塑性目标。
Understanding children’s physical activity motivation, its antecedents and associations with behavior is important and can be advanced by using self-determination theory. However, research among youth is largely restricted to adolescents and studies of motivation within certain contexts (e.g., physical education). There are no measures of self-determination theory constructs (physical activity motivation or psychological need satisfaction) for use among children and no previous studies have tested a self-determination theory-based model of children’s physical activity motivation. The purpose of this study was to test the reliability and validity of scores derived from scales adapted to measure self-determination theory constructs among children and test a motivational model predicting accelerometer-derived physical activity. Cross-sectional data from 462 children aged 7 to 11 years from 20 primary schools in Bristol, UK were analysed. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to examine the construct validity of adapted behavioral regulation and psychological need satisfaction scales. Structural equation modelling was used to test cross-sectional associations between psychological need satisfaction, motivation types and physical activity assessed by accelerometer. The construct validity and reliability of the motivation and psychological need satisfaction measures were supported. Structural equation modelling provided evidence for a motivational model in which psychological need satisfaction was positively associated with intrinsic and identified motivation types and intrinsic motivation was positively associated with children’s minutes in moderate-to-vigorous physical activity. The study provides evidence for the psychometric properties of measures of motivation aligned with self-determination theory among children. Children’s motivation that is based on enjoyment and inherent satisfaction of physical activity is associated with their objectively-assessed physical activity and such motivation is positively associated with perceptions of psychological need satisfaction. These psychological factors represent potential malleable targets for interventions to increase children’s physical activity.
