Abstract
Objective. To validate the Spanish version of the Reection Scale from the instrument Reective Learning Continuum for young
elite football players. Method. Validation study. e original version was translated and adapted following the protocol of the
American Psychological Association. Once translated, the version was administered to 478 young elite players together with the
Behavioral Regulation in Sport Questionnaire, aiming to evaluate the psychometric properties. In addition, internal consistency
analysis, conrmatory factor analysis and bivariate correlations analysis with theoretically related variables were carried out. Results.
e Spanish version of the Reection Scale shows cultural and linguistic evidence with its original version. Moreover, conrmatory
factor analysis showed an acceptable t to the data χ²(df )= 28.61 (88), p < 0.001, RMSEA (90% CI) = 0.07 (0.06-0.08), CFI =
0.99, TLI = 0.99. Also, the internal consistency analyses, as well as the relationship with motivation, support the validated version.
Conclusion. e results provide evidence in favour of the psychometric properties of the Spanish validation of the Reection Scale.
