Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop a valid and reliable scale to measure the perceptions of retirement process of individuals who quit professional football. 147 voluntary individuals who quit professional football participated in the study. The scale used was 5 Likert type. In the exploratory factor analysis conducted concerning 40 items in the scale in order to check validity of scale; it was determined that the scale was a 5-factor scale and the number of items was reduced to 23. In order to test the reliability of the scale, Cronbach Alfa score was used and the reliability was determined to be 0,6576. As a result, findings support the use of the “Perception Scale of Professional Football Career Termination Experience (PSPFCTE)” to measure the perceptions of career termination process of individuals who have retired from the professional football.

PROFESYONEL FUTBOLU BIRAKMA YAŞANTISINI ALGILAMA ÖLÇEĞİ GEÇERLİK VE GÜVENİRLİK ÇALIŞMASI

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, profesyonel futbolu bırakan bireylerin bırakma yaşantılarını algılamalarını ölçebilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı geliştirmektir. Çalışmaya, profesyonel futbolu bırakmış 147 birey gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Geliştirilen ölçek, 5’li Likert tipindedir. Ölçeğin geçerliğini test etmek amacıyla ölçekte bulunan 40 maddeye ilişkin yapılan faktör analizinde; ölçeğin 5 faktörlü olduğu tespit edilmiş ve madde sayısı da 23’e indirilmiştir. Ölçeğin güvenirliğini test etmek için ise Cronbach Alfa güvenirlik katsayısına bakılmış ve bu değer 0,6576 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Sonuç olarak; profesyonel futbolu bırakmış bireylerin, futbolu bırakma yaşantılarını algılamalarını ölçmek amacıyla hazırlanan “Profesyonel Futbolu Bırakma Yaşantısını Algılama Ölçeği (PFBYAÖ)”nin, yapılan geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışması sonucunda kullanılabilir bir ölçüm aracı olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Profesyonel futbolu bırakma, ölçek, geçerlik, güvenirlik.
