In France today, few sociological/descriptive studies have been conducted that provide adequate information about sport participants' motives. The present study provides a scale for measuring four kinds of sport motivations: exhibitionism, competition, sociability and emotion, and playing to the limit. It was completed by 878 students from two levels of secondary education, from the Provence, Alpes, Côte d'Azur Region in Southern France. The internal and external validity of the motivational constructs/factors were examined. We tested students' motivations to participate in sport across 15 independent variables. The results supported the construct validity of the scale, revealed important sources of variation in motives and showed that across all groups, intrinsic motives were more important than the extrinsic motives.
