RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY STUDY OF SOCIAL INTEGRATION IN SPORTS SCALE (SISS)

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to develop a scale which will be useful in the analysis of sports social integrative effect on the sport participants. The subject group of this study was composed of under-graduate and graduate university students who actively participate in nature sports and who were students of universities of Ankara (Gazi Üniversitesi, Hacettepe Üniversitesi, Ankara Üniversitesi, Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi, Bilkent Üniversitesi). In the data collection process approximately 500 subjects were reached and truely completed 406 subjects' (230 male and 176 female) questionnaires were taken into consideration in the statistical analysis. Social Integration in Sports Scale (SISS) is composed of two main part. First part of the scale was consisted of items seeking demographic information from the participants and second part was composed of 32 items questioning the personal, social, psychological, physical and integrative benefits gathered from sport participation. In the evaluation of the items 5-point Likert type scale was used (1= completely disagree to 5= completely agree). In the statistical analysis of the data exploratory factor analysis was conducted to identify the sub-factors of the scale. In exploratory factor analysis, principal component analysis with varimax rotation test was applied. To identify the questionnaire items internal consistency Cronbach's Alpha internal consitency test was conducted to the sub-factors and to the total questionnaire. As a result of principal component analysis with varimax rotation, 7 factors, eigen values over 1, were identified. The variance explained by these factors was 60.37%. Items 9., 10., 11., 16., 17.,18. and 20. composed the first factor, items 19., 21., 22., 25., 26., 27. and 28. composed the second factor, items 2., 12., 13., 14. and 15. composed the third factor, items 29., 30., 31. and 32. composed the fourth factor, items 1., 4., 7. and 8. composed the fifth factor, items 6., 23. and 24. composed the six factor, and items 3. and 5. composed the seventh factor of the scale. The Cronbach's Alpha internal consistency values of the first factor was 0.80, second factor's value was 0.82, third factor's was 0.80, fourth factor's alpha value was 0.82, fifth factor's was 0.71, sixth factor's alpha value was 0.75 and seventh factor's alpha value was 0.55. Total scale's Cronbach's Alpha internal consistency value was 0.91. As a result, the analysis of this study revealed that Social Integration in Sports Scale (SISS) will be helpful as an instrument for subsequent researches which will evaluate sports contribution to the social integration of people participating in sports activities.
