Introduction: The growing recognition of regulation of motivation as an important part of the self-regulation with a direct impact on learning requires more careful assessment to aid the learning process and therefore, valid tools are needed. This study endeavored to explore Psychometric properties of Brief Regulation of Motivation Scale (BRoMS).
Methods: The population of this cross sectional study was the students of Isfahan Medical University in the second semester of the academic years of 2019-2020, of which 400 student (155 boys and 245 girls) were selected by cluster sampling method and they responded to Brief regulation of motivation scale (BRoMS), Harter Educational Motivation Questionnaire (HEMQ) and Motivated Strategies for Learning Questionnaire (MSLQ).
Results: Cronbach's alpha coefficient of BRoMS was obtained through internal consistency method (.92) and by split-half method (.88) which shows appropriate reliability of test scores. Significant positive correlation was found at p<0.01 between BRoMS and the other two scales indicating concurrent validity. Using exploratory factor analysis, two factors were confirmed: regulation of motivation and willpower. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the consistency of the questions with the scales of this questionnaire.
Conclusion: It can be confirmed that BRoMS has good psychometric properties and can be employed as a diagnostic and instrument for measuring regulation of motivation.
