ADAPTATION OF ATHLETE STATE SELF-CRITICISM SCALE: THE VALIDITY AND RELIABLITY STUDY

Abstract

The aim of the current study is to adapt the Athlete State Self-Criticism Scale to Turkish and to examine its validity and reliability. The research was carried out in four stages. I) Translation of the scale into Turkish II) Explanatory and confirmatory factor analysis III) Criterion-related and item validity IV) Reliability. After the translation of the scale was made by field and language experts, three hundred forty-five student-athletes took part in the study for factor analysis. As a result of the factor analysis, both item factor loadings and goodness of fit values were appropriate, and the scale showed a one-factor structure. The positive correlation between the Concern over Mistakes Scale and the Athlete State Self-Criticism Scale provided support for the criterion-related validity. In order to provide evidence for the internal consistency of the study, item validity was tested and it was found that the difference between the item averages of the lower 27% and the upper 27% groups for all items was significant. Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient of the scale was found as .782. As a result of the test-retest performed at 2-week intervals, the positive significant correlation provided evidence for moderate stability over time. As a result, the 7-item Athlete State Self-criticism Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool for athletes.

SPORCU DURUMLUK ÖZ ELEŞTİRİ ÖLÇEĞİ’NİN TÜRKÇEYE UYARLANMASI: GEÇERLİK VE GÜVENİRLİK ÇALIŞMASI

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Sporcu Durumluk Öz Eleştiri Ölçeği’ni Türkçeye uyarlamak ve geçerlik-güvenirliğini incelemektir. Araştırma dört aşamada gerçekleştirilmiştir. I) Ölçeğin Türkçeye çevrilmesi II) Açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi III) Ölçüt bağıntılı geçerlik ve madde geçerliği IV) Güvenirlik. Ölçeğin çevirisi alan ve dil uzmanları tarafından yapıldıktan sonra faktör analizi için 345 üniversiteli sporcu (Myaş=21.41, SS= 4.57; %47.8 kadın, %51.9 erkek, %0.3 kendini kadın ya da erkek olarak tanımlamayan) çalışmaya dahil edilmiştir. Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi sonucunda hem madde faktör yüklerinin (.32-.85) hem de uyum iyiliği indekslerinin (χ2/Sd=2.114; RMESA=.057, CFI=.983, GFI=.981, AGFI=.951, NFI=.968, TLI=.967) uygun olduğu görülmüş ve ölçek tek faktörlü bir yapı göstermiştir. AVE (.449) ve CR (.845) değerleri yakınsak geçerliğe kanıt sağlamıştır. Hatalarla Aşırı İlgilenme Ölçeği ve Sporcu Durumluk Öz Eleştiri Ölçeği arasındaki pozitif korelasyon ölçüt bağıntılı geçerliğe destek sağlamıştır (r=.357). Çalışmanın iç tutarlığına kanıt sağlamak amacıyla madde geçerliği test edilmiş tüm maddelere ait alt %27 ile üst %27 grupların madde ortalamaları arasındaki farkların anlamlı olduğu görülmüştür. Ölçeğin Cronbach’s alpha iç tutarlık katsayısı .782 olarak bulgulanmıştır. İki hafta aralıklı olarak uygulanan ölçeğin, sınıf içi korelasyon katsayısının zayıf olduğu görülmüştür (ICC=.463). Sonuç olarak, 7 maddelik sporcu durumluk öz eleştiri ölçeğinin geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu görülmüştür.
