The aim of this study was to examine the validity and
reliability of Turkish version of the Athlete Burnout
Questionnaire (ABQ) which has been developed by Raedeke
and Smith (2001). Scale was completed by 207
athletes (79 female, 128 male) with a mean of age 20.57
3.62 years. ABQ consists of 15 items assigned to 3
subscales (Reduces Sense of Accomplishment, Emotional/
Physical Exhaustion and Devaluation). Construct
validity was evaluated by confirmatory factor analysis.
The Internal consistency of the scale was determined
by Cronbach alpha. Beside, Sport Motivation Scale and
Physical Self Perception Profile were administered for
testing convergent validity; Maslach Burnout Questionnaire
was used to test concurrent validity. Findings of
final Turkish version of ABQ (13 items) regarding the
construct validity of the scale were rather consistent
with the original scale’s three-factor structure [SB-2
(df = 66) = 185.70, RMSEA = .06, SRMR = .05, NFI = .92,
NNFI= .94, CFI = .96, GFI = .92]. Internal consistency coefficients
were ranged between 0.75 and 0.87. Results
on concurrent validity revealed a significant correlation
found between Athlete Burnout Questionnaire and
Maslach Burnout Questionnaire (p<.01). Furthermore, the
convergent validity results indicated a significant relationship
found between subscales of Athlete Burnout
Questionnaire and intrinsic motivation, amotivation and
sport competence subscales (p<.01); but no significant relationship
was found between ABQ and extrinsic motivation
(p>.01). The psychometric properties of the Turkish
version of Athlete Burnout Questionnaire showed that
the instrument is a valuable additional measure for the
determination of athletes’ burnout levels in Turkey.
