ADAPTATION OF THE MINDFULNESS INVENTORY FOR SPORT INTO TURKISH: A VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY STUDY

Abstract

The objective of the current study was to adapt the Mindfulness Inventory for Sport (MIS) developed by Thienot et al. into Turkish on a group of university student-athletes. For the linguistic equivalence study, initially, the English-Turkish and Turkish-English translations were done by experts, then the master students in the English Language Teaching Department, 4th-grade students of English Teaching Department, and English teachers were incorporated in the study. Correlations between English-Turkish and Turkish-English forms applied at two-week intervals were found to be positive and significant. As a result of exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses applied to determine the factor structure of the MIS, it was observed that the original structure of 15 items consisting of awareness, non-judgmental, and refocusing subscales was similar. In order to ensure parallel forms of validity, the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale (MAAS) was used. A significant correlation was found between MIS and MAAS at .64 (p <.01) level. The Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency of the scale was calculated as .82. There was a high positive correlation between the first and the second application according to the test re-test results of two weeks interval of MIS (r = .89, p <.01). The 15-item scale was separated from the odd-numbered items and the even-numbered items, and it was found that r = .80 as a result of the split-half reliability test. As a result of the present study, the Mindfulness Inventory for Sport (MIS) was determined as a valid and reliable instrument in Turkey’s conditions.

SPORCU BİLİNÇLİ FARKINDALIK (MINDFULNESS) ÖLÇEĞİ: TÜRKÇEYE UYARLAMA, GEÇERLİK VE GÜVENİRLİK ÇALIŞMASI

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Thienot ve ark. (2014) tarafından geliştirilen Sporcu Bilinçli Farkındalık (Mindfulness) Ölçeğini (SBFÖ) üniversiteli sporculardan oluşan bir grup üzerinde Türkçeye uyarlamaktır. Dilsel eşdeğerlik çalışması için öncelikle İngilizce-Türkçe ve Türkçe-İngilizce çevirileri uzmanlar tarafından yapılmış, ardından İngiliz Dili Eğitimi Bölümünde yüksek lisans yapan öğrenciler, İngilizce Öğretmenliği 4. sınıf öğrencileri ve İngilizce öğretmenleri çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir.  İki hafta arayla uygulanan İngilizce-Türkçe ve Türkçe-İngilizce formlar arasındaki korelasyonlar pozitif ve anlamlı bulunmuştur. SBFÖ’nün faktör yapısını belirlemek için uygulanan açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri sonucunda; farkındalık, yargılamama ve yeniden odaklanma olmak üzere 3 boyutlu 15 maddelik orijinal yapısını koruduğu görülmüştür. SBFÖ’nin ölçüt eş değer formlar geçerliğini sağlamak için Bilinçli Farkındalık Ölçeği (BİFÖ) ölçüt alınmıştır. SBFÖ ile BİFÖ arasında .64 (p<.01) düzeyinde anlamlı ilişki bulunmuştur. Ölçeğin Cronbach’s alpha iç tutarlılık kat sayısı .82 olarak hesaplanmıştır.  SBFÖ’nün iki hafta arayla uygulanan test tekrar test sonucuna göre birinci ve ikinci uygulama arasında yüksek düzeyde pozitif bir ilişki olduğu görülmüştür (r= .89, p<.01). 15 maddelik ölçeği tek numaralı maddeleri ile çift numaralı maddeleri ayrılmış ve iki yarım güvenirliği analizi sonucu r = .80 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Yapılan bu çalışma sonucunda Sporcu Bilinçli Farkındalık (Mindfulness) Ölçeğinin (SBFÖ) Türkiye koşullarında geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçek olduğu belirlenmiştir.
