Grounded in self-determination theory, the objective of this research was to provide validity and reliability evidence of the Controlling Teaching Scale for Physical Education (CTS-PE) to assess the external and internal faces of controlling teaching in PE through two sequential studies. In Study 1 (n = 241 students), an exploratory factor analysis revealed an eight-item two-factor solution (four items per factor). In Study 2 (n = 968 students), a confirmatory factor analysis supported the eight-item two-factor correlated model (i.e., externally and internally controlling teaching) that was invariant across gender. Reliability coefficients indicated an acceptable level of reliability for the two factors of the CTS-PE. A structural equation modelling showed that externally and internally controlling teaching behaviours positively predicted need frustration, and negatively need satisfaction. The current study gathered evidence to consider the CTS-PE as a valid and reliable instrument to assess students’ perceptions of PE teachers’ externally and internally controlling teaching behaviours. The CTS-PE provides PE teachers with deeper insights into the negative psychological experiences associated with externally and internally controlling teaching behaviours in PE.}, organization = {Spanish Ministry of Economy and Competitiveness (MINECO) EDU2013-42048-R}, publisher = {MDPI}, keywords = {Motivating style}, keywords = {Need-thwarting behaviours}, keywords = {Controlling behaviour}, keywords = {Externally controlling}, keywords = {Internally controlling}, keywords = {Basic psychological needs}, title = {Evaluating the Psychometric Properties of a Scale to Measure Perceived External and Internal Faces of Controlling Teaching among Students in Physical Education}, doi = {10.3390/ijerph18010298}, author = {Burgueño Menjibar, Rafael and Abós, Ángel and García González, Luis and Tilga, Henri and Sevil Serrano, Javier}, }
