Academic motivation is important to students' mental health and performance. One established measure the Motivation Scale (AMS), comprising 28 items. AMS assesses intrinsic motivation, extrinsic amotivation, which are further categorised into seven subscales. weakness of its length. In this study, we constructed validated a short version 14-item (SAMS). Data from two university student samples were analysed construct validate factorial structure. SAMS yielded adequate internal consistency, very strong correlations with original in both samples. Confirmatory factor analysis on replicated seven-factor model identified AMS. can be reliable valid alternative
