本研究主要目的在於利用不同的研究樣本，進行探索性與驗證性的因素分析，來被視「運動自我設限量表」的因素結構。本研究參與者為581位台灣大學學生，參與者在隨機分派為兩個研究樣本後，分別用以進行探索性因素分析與驗證性因素分析。探索性因素分析的結果顯示，本量表具有「辯解」與「努力」等兩個自我設限的潛在因素，而驗證性因素分析則確立了二因素結構為較佳的模式，並且篩選出七題較為理想的測量題目。在未來研究中，研究者將可視議題需要利用此量表中的兩個次量表進行運動員自我設限的相關研究，籍以了解不同自我設限相關的心理與行為歷程與處置策略。

The purpose of this study was to examine the factor structure of the "Self Handicap Scale for Sports" by using exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis with different samples. There were 581 students at National Taiwan University who participated in this study. The participants were first randomly assigned into two independent samples. The exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were then conducted respectively with these two samples. The result of exploratory factor analysis revealed that there were two factors underlying this scale, including "making excuse" and "reducing effort". Moreover, the results of confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the two-factor structure model and retained seven items. In the future, researchers were suggested to use these two subscales, i.e., "making excuse" and "reducing effort", to study relevant issues of self-handicapping, and to develop effective coping strategies.
