Achievement Goal Questionnaire: Psychometric Properties and Gender Invariance in a Sample of Chinese University Students.

The aim of this study was to test the gender invariance of the Chinese version of the Achievement Goal Questionnaire (AGQ-C) utilizing a sample of 1,115 Chinese university students. Multi-group confirmatory factor analysis supported the configural, metric, and scalar invariance of the AGQ-C across genders. Analyses also revealed that the latent factor means were different in male and female students.
