Measurement of Parental Involvement in Sport: A Scale Adaptation Study

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to test the validity and reliability of Turkish version Parental Involvement in Sport Scale developed by Teques et al (2015, 2016) for athletes and parents. Ninety girls (Mage=12.73±2.02), 105 boys (Mage=13.49±2.29) totally 195 athletes (Mage 13.14±2.20) and whom 140 were mothers (Mage =43.84±5.72) and 141 were fathers (Mage =46.66±5.37) totally 281 parents (Mage =45.25±5.71) participated in this study. The Parental Involvement in Sport Scale consists of four different scale forms including athlete and parent perceptions. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis and Average Variance Extracted (AVE), Composite Reliability (CR), Maximum Squared Variance (MSV) and Average Shared Square Variance (ASV) values were used to test the construct, convergent and discriminant validity of the forms. In addition, Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient and Composite reliability were calculated to test reliability. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis results revealed that, three items (items 8,26,36) in Form 1 and one item (item 5) in Form 2 had low factor loading. And item 14 in Form 2 and 3 was low loaded on intended factor and they excluded from the model. When the related items were excluded from the model, the acceptable fit index values. On the other hand, because of the low fit indices Turkish version of Form 4 was not valid and reliable. It was determined that the convergent and divergent validity three forms of the Parental Involvement in Sport Scale were supported by calculating AVE, CR, MSV and ASV values. And Cronbach's alpha internal consistency and CR coefficients supported the reliability of the forms. It can be concluded that the forms (Form 1,2,3) of Parental Involvement in Sport Scale were a valid and reliable measures for assessing perception of parent involvement in sport from athletes and parents’ perspective.

Sporda Ebeveyn Katılımı Envanterinin Türkçe Versiyonunun Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Teques ve diğerleri, (2015, 2016) tarafından geliştirilen Sporda Ebeveyn Katılımı Envanterinin Türkçe formunun sporcularda ve ebeveynlerde geçerliliğini ve güvenirliğini test etmektir. Çalışmaya 90 kız (x̄yaş 12,73±2,02), 105 erkek (x̄yaş =13,49 ±2,29) toplam 195 sporcu (x̄yaş=13,14±2,20) ve bu sporcuların 140’ı anne (x̄yaş =43,84±5,72) ve 141’i baba (x̄yaş =46,66±5,37) olmak üzere toplam 281 (x̄yaş =45,25±5,71) ebeveyn katılmıştır. Sporda Ebeveyn Katılımı Envanteri sporcu ve ebeveyn algısını içeren dört farklı formdan oluşmaktadır. Formların yapı geçerliği için Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi, yakınsak ve ıraksak geçerliği için AVE, MSV, ASV ve güvenirliğini sınamak için ise Cronbach Alfa ve CR katsayısı kullanılmıştır. DFA sonuçlarına göre; Form 1’de üç madde (madde 8,26,36), Form 2’de bir madde (madde 5) düşük yük vermesinden, Form 2 ve Form 3’te ise madde 14 ilgili alt boyuta yük vermemesinden ötürü modelden çıkarılmıştır. İlgili maddeler modelden çıkarıldığında yapıların iyi uyum indeks değerlerine sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Öte yandan DFA sonuçları, Form 4’ün uyum indekslerinin düşüklüğü nedeniyle Türkçe formunun geçerli ve güvenilir olmadığını göstermiştir. Yakınsak ve ıraksak geçerlik için yapılan analizlere göre Sporda Ebeveyn Katılımı Ölçeğinin üç formunun alt boyutlarına ait AVE, CR, MSV ve ASV ve güvenirlik için Cronbach alfa katsayıları da kabul edilebilir sınırlar içindedir. Elde edilen bulgular, Sporda Ebeveyn Katılımı Envanterini oluşturan Türkçe formlarının (Form 1,2,3) spor ortamında ebeveyn katılımının algılanmasının sporcu ve ebeveyn perspektifinden değerlendirilmesi için geçerlik ve güvenirlik koşullarını sağladığı ortaya koymaktadır.
