This research aimed to adapt and psychometrically examine the Multidimensional Perceived Autonomy Support Scale in
Physical Education in the Spanish context. The participants were 560 (264 men and 296 women; Mage = 14.49, SDage = 1.05)
physical education secondary school students. The results underpinned a 15-item three-factor correlated model, which was
invariant across gender and age. The reliability analysis reflected an acceptable level of internal consistency and temporal
stability for each factor. The structural equation modeling showed that perceived cognitive, procedural, and organizational
autonomy support predicted positively and significantly basic psychological need satisfaction. The Multidimensional Perceived
Autonomy Support Scale in Physical Education is a valid and reliable instrument to multidimensionally measure the secondary
school students’ perception of autonomy support from physical education teachers in the Spanish context
