Taraftar Profillerinin Çok Boyutlu İncelenmesi: Genişletilmiş Tipoloji Ölçeği

Öz

Bu araştırma, Halıcı ve Yetim (2024) tarafından geliştirilen “Taraftar Tipolojisi Ölçeğinin” geçerli ve güvenilir genişletilmiş versiyonunu oluşturmayı amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmaya katılan katılımcıların belirlenmesinde kolayda ulaşılabilir örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Araştırmaya takım sporlarından herhangi bir takımı destekleyen tüm taraftarlar dahil edilmiş, toplamda 828 gönüllü katılımcıya ulaşılmıştır. Elde edilen verilerin, 474 tanesi Açımlayıcı Faktör Analizi (AFA), 354 tanesi Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi (DFA) için kullanılmıştır. AFA sonucunda, 7 faktörlü bir yapı ortaya çıkarmıştır. DFA’dan elde edilen bulgulara göre modelin RMSEA değerinin .077 ve diğer uyum iyiliği indekslerinin de kabul edilebilir değerler arasında olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu bulgular ölçeğin 7 boyutlu yapısı altında toplanan 38 maddeden oluştuğunu ve bu yapının taraftar tipolojisi değişkeninin %69.12 gibi önemli bir varyansını açıkladığını ortaya koymuştur. Sonuç olarak, Taraftar Tipolojisi Ölçeği: Genişletilmiş Versiyon ‘un geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu söylenebilir.

Multidimensional Analysis of Fan Profiles: Extended Typology Scale

Abstract

This research aims to create a valid and reliable extended version of the “Fan Typology Scale” developed by Halıcı and Yetim (2024). Participants were selected using the random convenience sampling method. All fans who support any team in team sports were included in the research, and 828 volunteer participants were reached. Four hundred seventy-four of the obtained data were used for Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), and 354 for Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). As a result of EFA, a 7-factor structure was revealed. According to the findings obtained from CFA, it was determined that the RMSEA value of the model was .077, and other Goodness-of-fit indices were also within acceptable values. These findings revealed that the scale consisted of 38 items collected under the 7-dimensional structure and that this structure explained a significant variance of 69.12% of the fan typology variable. As a result, it can be said that the Fan Typology Scale: Extended Version is a valid and reliable measurement tool.
