Is “Passion Scale” Reliable and Valid for Adolescent Athletes?

Öz

The purpose of this study was to test the validity and reliability of the Passion Scale that was developed by Vallerand, Mageau, Ratelle, Leonard, Blanchard, Koestner, Gagne and Marsolis (2003) in Turkish adolescent athletes in order to evaluate the athletes’ passion for sports. One hundred twenty-five girls (Mage=14.15±2.37) and 125 boys (Mage=14.40±2.02), totally 250 (Mage=14.29±1.50) Turkish adolescent athletes voluntarily participated in this study. Passion Scale is 7 point Likert typed scale and consists of 16 items for measuring two types of passion- harmonious and obsessive-. “Personal Information Form” and “Passion Scale” were administered to the athletes. The Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to test the construct validity of the scale., Cronbach’s Alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated to test reliability. CFA results revealed that the factor loading of items were ranged between 0.81 and 0.94 and the acceptable fit index values (x2/df=2.76, RMSEA=0.08, NFI=0.98, NNFI=0.98, CFI=0.99, RMR=0.05, SRMR=0.03, GFI= 0.91, AGFI=0.87). The internal consistency coefficients of the subscales were .95 for harmonious passion and .96 for obsessive passion. It can be concluded that the Passion Scale is a valid and reliable measure to determine the passion toward sport in adolescent athletes.

"Tutkunluk Ölçeği" Adolesan Sporcular için Güvenilir ve Geçerli midir?

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Vallerand, Mageau, Ratelle, Leonard, Blanchard, Koestner, Gagne ve Marsolis (2003) tarafından geliştirilen Tutkunluk Ölçeği'nin genç sporcularda spora yönelik tutkunluğu test etmektir. Bu çalışmaya 125 kız (X ̅yaş =14.15±2.37) ve 125 erkek (X ̅yaş =14.40±2.02) olmak üzere toplam 250 (X ̅yaş =14.29±1.50) genç sporcu gönüllü olarak katılmıştır. Tutkunluk Ölçeği 7'li Likert tipi bir değerlendirme aracı olup, uyumlu ve takıntılı olmak üzere iki tür tutkuyu ölçmeye yönelik 16 maddeden oluşmaktadır. Sporculara "Kişisel Bilgi Formu" ve "Tutkunluk Ölçeği" uygulanmıştır. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliliğini test etmek için Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi (DFA) kullanılmış, güvenilirliğini test etmek için Cronbach Alfa iç tutarlılık katsayısı hesaplanmıştır. DFA sonuçları ölçeğin, madde faktör yüklerinin 0.81 ile 0.94 arasında değiştiğini ve kabul edilebilir uyum indeksi değerlerine (x2/df=2.76, RMSEA=0.08, NFI=0.98, NNFI=0.98, CFI=0.99, RMR=0.05, SRMR=0.03, GFI= 0.91, AGFI=0.87) sahip olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Alt boyutların iç tutarlılık katsayıları uyumlu tutku için .95 ve takıntılı tutkunluk için .96'dır. Elde edilen bulgular ile Tutkunluk Ölçeği' nin genç sporcularda spora yönelik tutkunluğu belirlemek için geçerli ve güvenilir bir değerlendirme aracı olduğu ortaya konmuştur.
