SPORDA TOPLULUK HİSSİ ÖLÇEĞİNİ (STHÖ) TÜRKÇEYE UYARLAMA: GEÇERLİK VE GÜVENİRLİK ÇALIŞMASI

BBu çalışmanın amacı, Warner, Kerwin, ve Walker (2013) tarafından geliştirilen Sporda Topluluk Hissi Ölçeğinin (STHÖ) Türkçe’ye uyarlanmasıdır. Araştırmaya 124 kız, 98 erkek, toplam 222 aktif sporcu (ort.yaş= 15 ± 1.91 yıl) katılmıştır. STHÖ; spor ortamında topluluk hissini ölçmek amacıyla geliştirilmiştir. Ölçek 21 madde ve 6 alt boyuttan oluşmaktadır: İdari Değerlendirme, Ortak İlgi, İdari Kararlarda Eşitlik, Liderlik Fırsatları, Sosyal Alanlar, Rekabet. Verilerin analizinde betimleyici analizler, Cronbach’s alfa iç tutarlık katsayısı, pearson korelasyon analizi ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi kullanılmıştır. Türkçe İngilizce formların korelasyonlarının 0.76 - 0.93 arasında; iç tutarlık değerlerinin 0.67 - 0.84 arasında değiştiği görülmektedir. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonuçlarına göre, faktör yük değerlerinin ise 0.59 ve 0.81 arasında olduğu bulunmuştur. STHÖ’nin, model veri uyumuyla ilişkili olan değerlerinin (χ2/sd=1.95, RMSEA= 0.066, CFI= 0.97, NFI=0.94, NNFI=0.96, GFI=0.87) kabul edilebilir ve mükemmel uyum sınırlarında göstermektedir. Elde edilen sonuçların tamamı ele alındığında, modelin veriyle uyum gösterdiği ve ölçeğin yapısal geçerliğe sahip olduğu görülmektedir. Sonuç olarak, “Sporda Topluluk Hissi Ölçeği” Türkçe versiyonu geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçüm aracı olarak araştırmalarda kullanılabileceği söylenebilir.

Correlation values between Turkish and English forms differ between 0.76 - 0.97 while, internal consistency coefficients were between 0.67 - 0.84 for sub-dimensions. According to confirmatory factor analysis, factor loadings of the scale range between 0.59 and 0.81. Turkish version of SCS with displayed an acceptable and/or perfect model-data fit (χ2/df = 1.95, RMSEA=0.066, CFI=0.97, NFI=0.94, NNFI=0.96, GFI=0.87). When findings are interpreted, it may be said that the model was found fit and questionnaire has construct validity.
