Validity And Reliability Study of The Motivation Scale For Modern Sports And E-Sports (MSE-MÖ)
Abstract
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to develop the “Motivation Scale for Modern Sports and E-Sports (MSE-MÖ)” that can evaluate the motivation levels of traditional (modern) athletes and e-sports players on a common theoretical basis.
Method: A 28-item candidate pool, prepared based on Self-Determination Theory, was submitted to expert opinions; as a result of the Lawshe method analysis, the Content Validity Index (CVI) was determined to be 0.91. Construct validity analyses were conducted on data collected from 134 students actively participating in sports and e-sports at Adıyaman University.
Results: As a result of the Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) performed, 4 items that did not fit the structure were eliminated, and the scale reached its final structure with 18 items and a single factor. The data were found to be perfectly suitable for factorization (KMO=0.960; Bartlett p<0.001) and explained 73.881% of the total variance. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) findings [χ2/df=1.957; RMSEA=0.085; CFI=0.99] confirmed that the model fit the data at a high level. Item factor loadings ranged from 0.74 to 0.93. The reliability analysis of the scale revealed a Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient of 0.979, proving that the instrument is highly homogeneous and reliable.
Conclusion: In conclusion, the MSE-MÖ has been added to the literature as a valid and reliable original measurement tool that can examine physical and digital sports disciplines from a holistic motivational perspective.
