Adaptation and Psychometric Properties of the Emotion Regulation Scale for Athletes

Abstract

Competition or training often continues regardless of the athlete's emotions. An athlete may experience a rapid mood swing during competition or training, and emotion regulation may be the most basic need for athlete. The aim of this study was to adapt and verify the psychometric properties of the Emotion Regulation Scale for athletes. The study consists of four sub-studies, adaptation phase, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, criterion-related validity, and reliability. Initially, the items in the original form were adapted for athletes, and face validity was ensured. As a result of the factor analysis performed with 280 athletes the two-factor structure, "Reappraisal" and "Suppression" revealed as in the original form. As a result of the criterion-related validity study, it was concluded that there was a weak negative correlation between the Emotion Regulation Scale-Brief Form and the Reappraisal, while there was no significant relationship between the Suppression. Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficients of the sub-dimensions were adequate. The test-retest reliability at a two-week interval period indicated moderate stability over time. Overall, results demonstrated that the eight items Athlete Emotion Regulation Scale is a valid and reliable instrument.

Duygu Düzenleme Ölçeğinin Sporcular İçin Uyarlanması ve Psikometrik Özelliklerinin İncelenmesi

Öz

Bir müsabaka ya da antrenman, çoğu zaman sporcunun duygularından bağımsız olarak devam eder. Sporcu, müsabaka ya da antrenman sırasında hızlı duygu geçişleri yaşayabilir ve bu noktada en temel ihtiyacı duygu düzenleme becerisi olabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Duygu Düzenleme Ölçeğinin sporcular için uyarlanması ve psikometrik özelliklerinin incelenmesidir. Mevcut araştırma, uyarlama aşaması, açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi, ölçüt bağıntılı geçerlik ve güvenirlik olmak üzere dört alt çalışmadan oluşmaktadır. Öncelikle orijinal formdaki maddeler sporcular için uyarlanmış ve görünüş geçerliği sağlanmıştır. 280 sporcu ile yapılan faktör analizi sonucunda ölçeğin orijinalinde olduğu gibi “Bilişsel Yeniden Değerlendirme” ve “Bastırma” olmak üzere iki faktörlü bir yapı göstermiştir. Ölçüt bağıntılı geçerlik çalışması sonucunda, Duygu Düzenleme Güçlüğü Ölçeği-Kısa Formu ile Bilişsel Yeniden Değerlendirme arasında negatif yönde zayıf bir ilişki varken Bastırma alt boyutu ile arasında anlamlı bir ilişki olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ölçeğin alt boyutlarının Cronbach’s alpha iç tutarlık katsayılarının yeterli düzeyde olduğu görülmüştür. İki hafta aralıklı olarak uygulanan test-tekrar test güvenirlik analizi, ölçeğin zamana karşı orta düzeyde tutarlı olduğunu göstermiştir. Sonuç olarak, 8 maddeli Sporcu Duygu Düzenleme Ölçeğinin geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu görülmüştür.
