The aims of the study were (a) to develop a scale to measure university students’ task value and (b) to use confirmatory factor analytic techniques to investigate the construct validity of the scale. The questionnaire items were developed based on theoretical considerations and the final version contained 38 items divided into 4 subscales. Analyses were conducted on 2 samples of university students (n₁ = 430, n₂ = 430). The results of confirmatory factor analysis suggested a modified version of the 4-factor model. The scale may have construct validity for the current sample of university students. Finally, possible applications for this scale, including for the early identification and prevention of problematic task values among university students, and implications for further psychometric research are highlighted.
