How to compute autonomous and controlled motivation in SDT?

03 March 2018 0 4K Report

In Self-Determination Theory (SDT), controlled motivation is the simple average of external and introyected regulation scores whereas autonomous motivation comes from identified and intrinsic motivation. I read somewhere that this procedure (average of scores) has many drawbacks and instead a second order factor analysis with regression scores should be conducted. This takes into account not only the correlation among observed variables (via items loadings), but the correlation among oblique factors. Any comments on this?
