Cross-cultural validation and measurement invariance of the learning climate questionnaire in physical education: evidence from Mexico and Spain.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Introduction: This study examined the factorial validity and cross-cultural invariance of the Learning Climate Questionnaire in Physical Education (LCQ-EF) among adolescents from Mexico and Spain. Methods: A total of 1,753 secondary school students (896 Mexican, 857 Spanish) completed the LCQ-EF. Multigroup confirmatory factor analyses tested configural, metric, scalar, and strict invariance, including invariance across genders and two age groups (12-14 and 15-17 years). Results: The results indicated excellent internal consistency (α and ω > 0.90) in both samples and supported strict invariance between Mexico and Spain, as well as across genders and two age groups, confirming that the LCQ-EF measures autonomy support equivalently across cultures, gender, and age groups. Discussion: The findings validate the LCQ-EF as a reliable tool for cross-cultural assessment of the perceived learning climate in Physical Education. The study highlights the universality of autonomy-supportive teaching as posited by Self-Determination Theory and provides a valid instrument to evaluate teacher behaviors that foster motivation and engagement in diverse cultural contexts.
