It seems that the academic motivation structure is affected by cultural factors. Many studies have examined the factorial structure of the academic motivation scale (AMS), and the results showed different factorial structures of AMS (e.g., Taghipour Ali Hosein et al. (EL-yazidi and Louzani, 2017) concluded that the scale consists of two dimensions; Natalya and Purwanto (2018) concluded that it consists of three dimensions; Alruaili (2020) concluded that it consists of four dimensions; Abu Awad (2009) concluded that the scale consists of six dimensions). The AMS is one of the most widely used academic motivation measures across the world. It was built on the basis of the self-determination theory. The current study aimed at investigating the factorial structure of the AMS using the exploratory factor analysis (PCA) and the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The AMS was applied to a sample of 401 university students. The results of PCA suggested a three-factor solution (intrinsic motivation, extrinsic motivation, and Amotivation), and CFA was conducted for three competing structures (three factors, five factors, and seven factors); the results confirmed the three-factor solution for the AMS. The results also showed that the AMS dimensions had good alpha coefficient values which were greater than the acceptable cut-off value of 0.7. In conclusion, the Jordanian version of the AMS is a valid scale that consists of 24 items loaded on three factors (intrinsic, extrinsic, and Amotivation) for measuring academic motivation.

瓦莱兰学术动机量表（AMS）的建构效度

看来，学术动机的结构受文化因素的影响。许多研究检查了学习动机量表（AMS）的阶乘结构，结果表明AMS的阶乘结构不同（例如Taghipour Ali Hosein等人（EL-yazidi和Louzani，2017）得出结论，该量表由两个部分组成维度; Natalya和Purwanto（2018）得出结论，它由三个维度组成; Alruaili（2020）得出结论，它由四个维度组成;阿布·阿瓦德（Abu Awad（2009）得出结论，规模由六个维度组成）。AMS是全世界使用最广泛的学术激励措施之一。它是建立在自决理论的基础上的。当前的研究旨在使用探索性因子分析（PCA）和确认性因子分析（CFA）研究AMS的因子结构。AMS被应用于401名大学生的样本中。PCA的结果提出了三因素解决方案（内在动机，外在动机和动机），而CFA则针对三种竞争结构（三因素，五因素和七因素）进行了研究；结果证实了AMS的三因素解决方案。结果还表明，AMS尺寸具有良好的alpha系数值，该值大于可接受的临界值0.7。总之，约旦版的AMS是一个有效的量表，由24个项目组成，其中包含三个因素（内在，外在和动机），用于测量学术动机。AMS被应用于401名大学生的样本中。PCA的结果提出了三因素解决方案（内在动机，外在动机和动机），而CFA则针对三种竞争结构（三因素，五因素和七因素）进行了研究；结果证实了AMS的三因素解决方案。结果还表明，AMS尺寸具有良好的alpha系数值，该值大于可接受的临界值0.7。总之，约旦版的AMS是一个有效的量表，由24个项目组成，其中包含三个因素（内在，外在和动机），用于测量学术动机。AMS被应用于401名大学生的样本中。PCA的结果提出了三因素解决方案（内在动机，外在动机和动机），而CFA则针对三种竞争结构（三因素，五因素和七因素）进行了研究；结果证实了AMS的三因素解决方案。结果还表明，AMS尺寸具有良好的alpha系数值，该值大于可接受的临界值0.7。总之，约旦版的AMS是一个有效的量表，由24个项目组成，其中包含三个因素（内在，外在和动机），用于测量学术动机。CFA是针对三个竞争结构（三个因素，五个因素和七个因素）进行的；结果证实了AMS的三因素解决方案。结果还表明，AMS尺寸具有良好的alpha系数值，该值大于可接受的临界值0.7。总之，约旦版的AMS是一个有效的量表，由24个项目组成，其中包含三个因素（内在，外在和动机），用于测量学术动机。CFA是针对三个竞争结构（三个因素，五个因素和七个因素）进行的；结果证实了AMS的三因素解决方案。结果还表明，AMS尺寸具有良好的alpha系数值，该值大于可接受的临界值0.7。总之，约旦版的AMS是一个有效的量表，由24个项目组成，其中包含三个因素（内在，外在和动机），用于测量学术动机。
