This research aimed to develop and validate a French Achievement Goal Questionnaire for Sport and Exercise(FAGQSE).In a first study,factor analyses conducted on a 20-item preliminary version supported the existenceof four factors corresponding to the four types of goals of Elliot and McGregor’s (2001) framework (MAp:Mastery-Approach, PAp: Performance-Approach, MAv: Mastery Avoidance, PAv: Performance-Avoidance). Asecond study examined a more parsimonious 12-item version of the FAGQSE. This version was found to bevalid among samples of athletes, exercisers, and PE students. The temporal stability of the questionnaire wasevidenced by a satisfactory test-retest over a 1-month period and its theoretical validity was supported bycorrelations between achievement goals and entity/incremental theories of sport ability, perceived sport 269Proceeding of the 13th FEPSAC European Congress of Sport Psychologycompetence, and sport anxiety.As a result, the FAGQSE is a valid and reliable instrument that can be used fortheoretical and applied purposes in various sport and exercise settings.
