Abstract/Resumo
Academic motivation has been associated with important outcomes in different education contexts. The goal of the
current study was to explore the psychometric properties of the Academic Motivation Scale (AMS) based on the
assumptions of the Rating Scale Model (RSM) to provide an effective instrument in assessing academic motivation
in Portuguese students. The sample comprised 360 Portuguese university students that were assessed with the
AMS adapted for online data collection. The results showed that the original version of the AMS with sevencategory response scale might not work properly with Portuguese university students. Different alternatives were
tested by collapsing anchors in the endpoints and midpoint of the original response scale. This analysis revealed
that the most suitable solution relies on a five-category response system with midpoint anchors collapsed. This
final solution showed good overall fit according to the guidelines proposed for the RSM.
