Abstract

The purpose of this research was to determine psychometric properties of the Persian version of the Goal Orientation in Exercise Measure (GOEM). 294 men and women were selected from sports clubs of Tehran through stratified random sampling. Measurement tool was Goal Orientation in Exercise Measure that includes of task and ego subscales. It was used confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to test construct validity. The reliability of the questionnaire was analyzed using the Cronbach’s alpha coefficient. The Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients of task and ego factors was .78 and .90, respectively. The fit indices of second-order confirmatory factor analysis showed that absolute (χ²/df = 2.13, GFI = .96), comparative (CFI = .98, TLI = .96) and parsimony (PNFI = .60, PCFI = .61, RMSEA = .06) indices are in acceptable range. In total, the Persian version of the Goal Orientation in Exercise Measure was confirmed by two factors.
