Publication Type: Paper Presentation Abstract: This paper evaluates a 22-item scale utilized to measure the 4 sub-dimensions of high school students’ academic motivation, and reports results of an initial investigation into the performance of the items within their own sub-dimensions. We selected these 22 items from Academic Self-Regulation Questionnaire (SRQ-A), a widely used scale for academic motivation in the field. Investigation into the sub-dimensions of the scale employing confirmatory and exploratory factor analyses revealed that the 22 items did not have a clear 4 sub-dimensions as proposed in previous research. Results suggest that the 4 sub-dimensions would emerge if we drop some of the low-loading items. In addition, since the scale was first used in the population of high school students, the unfit model challenges the previous theory that there are 4 sub-dimensions for the academic motivation. Further study may be needed to examine this issue for high school students.
