Abstract
The current research aimed to investigate the psychometric properties of the Arabic version of the short version of the achievement emotions questionnaire (A-AEQ-S), which was originally created by Bieleke et al. (2021). The A-AEQ-S was applied for 519 university students, their ages were (Mage= 21.99, SD= 0.62). Results showed that the A-AEQ-S had good psychometric properties, such as internal consistency, and reliability in each setting (class, learning, and test). Similar to findings for the English version of the AEQ-S (Bieleke, et al., 2021), confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) suggested hierarchical eight-factors solution and construct validity. Our findings suggest that the A-AEQ-S has acceptable psychometric properties and is a valid instrument for the assessment of achievement emotions through learning.
