Psychometric Properties of the Sport Imagery Ability Questionnaire (SIAQ) in Turkish Culture

Abstract

This study aims to adapt the Sport Imagery Ability Questionnaire (SIAQ) to Turkish culture. The data was collected via an online questionnaire from 315 university students. To test SIAQ construct validity, confirmatory factor analyses were conducted. The five-factor construct of the SIAQ ensures model data fit based on the fit indices (χ2 /(df)= 171.171/ (80) =2.14, p<.001; RMSEA (90% CI) = 0.062[0.049, 0.075], CFit p =0.058; TLI = 0.934; CFI = 0.950; SRMR = 0.038). As a result, the five-factor model confirms the construct at a high level of agreement. Second-order CFI results show that the sport imagery ability consists of five sub-constructs is well supported (χ2 /(df)= 180.156/ (85) =2.25, p<.001; RMSEA (90% CI) = 0.062 [0.049, 0.074], 0.062, CFit p =0.062; TLI = 0.935; CFI = 0.947; SRMR = 0.039). SIAQ determined measurement invariance in gender groups, and metric invariance was provided. Due to factor loadings being over 0.5 and AVEs being around 0.5, and CRs being over 0.7, convergent validity is provided. In addition, the Cronbach alpha values of the scale and all subdimensions were over 0.7. According to the results, SIAQ is a reliable and valid instrument for measuring sport imagery ability in Turkish culture.
