Abstract
The approach-avoidance framework has been incorporated into the social motivation context, as it happened before in the achievement goals. The aim of this research work was to validate for Spanish Physical Education contexts the Elliot, Gable and Mapes (2006) Relationship Goals Questionnaire-Friendship Version. The sample consisted of 273 Spanish adolescents (143 males, 130 females) 12-17 years old. Confirmatory Factor Analysis supported the two-factor structure of the friendship goals. Psychometric properties of the questionnaire were tested, and results showed acceptable validity and internal consistency. This instrument is a key element to investigate motivation from a holistic point of view. Future lines of research are suggested.This journal is registered under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International Public License.
