VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY STUDY OF THE TURKISH VERSION OF THE BODY PRESSURE QUESTIONNAIRE PERCEIVED BY FEMALE ATHLETES FROM THEIR COACHES (APBPCQ)

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the Turkish Validity and Reliability of the scale named “The Athletes’ Perceived Body Pressures from Coaches Questionnaire (APBPCQ)” developed by Eck and Byrd-Bredbenner (2022). The research population consists of female athletes over the age of 18 residing in Türkiye. It was determined that the factor loadings of items of the scale were above 0.40 and the explained variance was 75.025%, and no item was removed from the scale. In the findings regarding confirmatory factor analysis, the fit index values found for the body pressure questionnaire perceived by female athletes from their coaches were determined as normal and acceptable values. In the findings regarding internal consistency, the Cronbach’s α coefficient for the body pressure questionnaire perceived by female athletes from their coaches was found to be 0.844. Cronbach’s α coefficient for the sub-dimension “Athletes’ Perception of Coaches’ Beliefs and Behaviors Regarding Body Weight and Shape” is 0.884, for the sub-dimension “Coaches’ Role Perception Regarding Athletes’ Body Weight and Shape” is 0.857, for the sub-dimension “Coaches’ Perception That They Should Not Advise Athletes Regarding Body Weight and Shape” is 0.711 and for the sub-dimension “Coaches’ Perception of Expectations Regarding Athletes’ Body Weight and Shape” is 0.878. It has been determined that this questionnaire, which has a high level of validity and reliability (Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient = 0.844), is a practical and easily applicable evaluation method in assessing the body pressure perceived by female athletes over the age of 18 from their coaches

KADIN SPORCULARIN ANTRENÖRLERİNDEN ALGILADIKLARI VÜCUT BASKISI ANKETİNİN TÜRKÇE GEÇERLİK VE GÜVENİRLİK ÇALIŞMASI

Öz

Yapılan bu çalışmanın amacı Eck ve Byrd-Bredbenner (2022) tarafından geliştirilmiş “The Athletes’ Perceived Body Pressures from Coaches Questionnaire (APBPCQ)” adlı ölçeğin Türkçe Geçerlik ve Güvenirliğinin yapılmasıdır. Araştırma evrenini Türkiye’de ikamet eden 18 yaş üstü kadın sporcular oluşturmaktadır. Ölçeğe ait maddelerin faktör yükleri 0.40’ın üstünde, açıklanan varyans ise %75,025 olduğu belirlenmiş, ölçekten hiçbir madde çıkarılmamıştır. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizine yönelik bulgularda, kadın sporcuların antrenörlerinden algıladıkları vücut baskısı anketine yönelik bulunan uyum indeksi değerleri, normal, kabul edilebilir değerler olarak belirlenmiştir. İç tutarlılığa yönelik bulgularda kadın sporcuların antrenörlerinden algıladıkları vücut baskısı anketi cronbach’s α katsayısı 0,844 olarak bulunmuştur. Sporcuların “Vücut Ağırlığı ve Şekline İlişkin Antrenörlerin İnanç ve Davranışlarının Algısı” alt boyut Cronbach’s α katsayısı 0.884, “Sporcuların Vücut Ağırlığı ve Şekline İlişkin Antrenörlerin Rol Algısı” alt boyut Cronbach’s α katsayısı 0.857, “Antrenörlerin Vücut Ağırlığı ve Şekli Konusunda Sporculara Tavsiyede Bulunmaması Gerektiği Algısı” alt boyut Cronbach’s α katsayısı 0.711 ve “Sporcuların Vücut Ağırlığı ve Şekline İlişkin Antrenörlerin Beklenti Algısı” alt boyut Cronbach’s α katsayısı 0.878’dir. Geçerlik ve güvenirlik düzeyi (Cronbach’s alfa güvenirlik katsayısı= 0.844) yüksek düzeyde bulunan bu anketin 18 yaş üstü kadın sporcuların antrenörlerinden algıladıkları vücut baskısını değerlendirmede pratik ve kolay uygulanabilir bir değerlendirme yöntemi olduğu belirlenmiştir.
