A study of college students in the US, Thailand and Taiwan showed there is cross-cultural validity in measuring goals persons have when participating in sports. These results were obtained with the Task and Ego Orientation in Sport Questionnaire. Study results also suggest persons participating in competitive sports have a higher task and ego orientation than those who practice instructional sports.
