Thanks to the Achievement Emotions Questionnaire (AEQ), achievementemotions have been measured in different subjects and countries. The purpose of this researchwas to adapt and validate this questionnaire to assess achievement emotions in physical education.The sample of participants consisted of 902 (Mage = 13.15, SD = 1.17) secondary education studentsfrom various secondary schools in Spain. The psychometric properties of the Achievement EmotionsQuestionnaire for Physical Education (AEQ-PE) indicate that the scales are reliable and valid,as demonstrated by exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, temporal stability, internalconsistency and regression analysis. Considering the results achieved in the present study, the AEQ-PEopens a range of possibilities for both teachers and researchers. This instrument will help to understandthe role of emotions in student learning and their motivation towards physical education.
