Abstract
Investigaciones recientes seffalan que las metas sociales
deben ser tenidas en cuenta en el estudio de la motivación (e.g.
Anderman y Anderman, 1999; Urdan y Maehr, 1995). El objetivo
de este trabajo fue validar al contexto espaf10l la única escala
disponible para la evaluacIón de las metas sociales en clases
de educación f¡sica: la Social Goal Scale-Physical Education
(Guan, McBride, y Xiang, 2006), a través de dos estudios con
muestras de 406 y 813 alumnos de educación física
respectivamente. Se analizaron las propiedades psicométricas
de la escala realizando andlisis de la consistencia interna
mediante el alfa de Cronbach, andlisis factoriales confirmatorios
y test de in varianza por género. Finalmente se buscaron
evidencias externas de validez utilizando la variable
«competencia percibida». El andlisis de los datos mostró que la
escala era válida y fiable para su utilización con adolescentes
espaffo/es en clases de educación flsica. Además, los
resultados revelaron que la meta social de responsabilidad
predecla positiva y significativamente la competencia percibida.

The psychometric properties of the scale were analyzed by carrying out some checks of intemal consistency through the Cronbach alpha, so me confirmatory factor analyses and a test of invariance across gender. Final/y, external evidences of validity were looked for by using the «perceived competence» variable. The analysis of the data showed that the sea le was valid and reliable for its use with Spanish adolescents in physical education classes. Also, the results revealed that social responsibi/ity goal positively and significantly predicted perceived competence.
