Why is it important?
Not know the exact psychometric properties of an instrument avoids it's scientific use and entails not knowing what is excatly being measured.
Perspectives
Our proposal to improve the scale is to include a measurement to assess motivation dimensions related to the basic need for control (which is not affected by individual decisions) and volitional processes (referring to the effort made to achieve desires).
