الملخص EN

Motivation and anxiety are key concepts in the contemporary sport psychology research.

This study aims to adapt and validate the Arabic versions of both BRSO and the SAS-2, and it attempts to focus on the psychometric properties of the translations.

The study sample included a group of 355 young male soccer players from Saudi, aged between 16 and 20.

The research methodology involved a confirmatory factor analysis.

The findings revealed that the Arabic version of both has acceptable psychometric properties.

Therefore, the accumulation of evidence leads to the conclusion that the Arabic versions of BRSQ and SAS-2 are valid for use in sport psychology research.
