Description
Summary:The present study tested the invariance of the dualistic model of passion (Vallerand et al., 2003) for out of school youth who engage in group and individual sports. Vallerand et al. (2006; 2007; 2008; 2009) has established that passion (harmonious and obsessive) is determined by valuation and the outcome is subjective well-being. This model was tested in the study using a path analysis among 2554 out of school youth who engage in either individual or group sports. The model is tested for the each group (individual and group sports) and the goodness of fit and parameter estimates oft.he models we!"e compared to determine the invariant across the context of the sports engaged. The result showed significant correlations for sports valuation, harmonious passion, obsessive passion, and subjective well-being (P<.01 ). The path model tested showed a favorable fit for group sports among the out of school youth as compared to individual sports. The difference of the two models indicates that the integrated sequence model of passion is not invariant among out of school youth.
