Validation of the adolescent Reading Motivation and Preferences Scale
Main Article Content
Abstract
A study was conducted to validate the Reading Motivation and Preferences Scale in adolescents, designed to measure various aspects of reading motivation within this age group. The sample included 835 secondary school students from Gran Canaria, with an average age of 15.1 years. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses identified six main factors that structure the scale, such as journalistic genres and digital reading, novel genres, and imaginative-creative motivation. The results showed adequate fit indices and high overall reliability for the scale, with an omega value of .96, ensuring the instrument's internal consistency. The validated scale enables the assessment of adolescents' reading motivations and preferences, providing a useful tool for analysing reading habits in educational and leisure contexts.
