碩士 === 國立彰化師範大學 === 教育研究所 === 99 === The purpose of the study was to verify the reliability and validity of reading motivation questionnaire （the Motivation for Reading Questionnaire, MRQ）developed by Wigfield and his colleagues and investigate the conformability of this questionnaire in Taiwanese sample. This questionnaire included three constructs and eleven aspects. Questionnaires were implemented to a sample of fourth graders and seven graders in four parts of Taiwan. The collected data were analyzed using structural equation modeling to validate the model fit of hypothesized model. First, the results indicated that the model of reading motivation scale developed by Wigfield conforms to Taiwanese sample. Second, female students’ reading motivation in each aspect was higher than male students’. Third, fourth graders’ reading motivation in each aspect was higher than seven graders’. It meant that there were differences on reading motivation in genders and ages.
