Introduction: The purpose of the present research describes the development and psychometric evaluation of the Sport Psychological Capital Questionnaire. Methods: The present study adopted survey method including three procedures. The procedure one was to develop questionnaire items based on 24-items psychological capital questionnaire (Luthans, et al., 2007). For procedure two, 150 athletes from collegiate team Division I were participated. The collected data was analyzed with exploratory factor analysis to test the factorial structure, item discrimination and internal consistency of the questionnaire. The participants of procedure three were 219 athletes from collegiate team Division I. The data was to proceed to confirmatory factor analysis, average variance extracted amount, composite reliability, and criterion related validity, predictive validity and measurement invariance. Results: The results of exploratory factor analysis showed a four-factor sport psychological capital questionnaire with items, named hope, resilience, optimistic and self-efficacy; the four factors could account of total explained variance 61.04%. Meanwhile, the result of confirmatory factor analysis of overall index model was found to be good overall fit (χ2/df = 2.88, RMR = 0.043,RMSEA = 0.092,GFI = 0.80,AGFI = 0.75,NFI = 0.83,CFI = 0.88,PNFI = 0.73,PGFI = 0.64). Cronbach’s α of the constructs ranged from .83 - .91. Adequate internal consistency reliability, factorial validity and criterion related validity. Most important, factorial invariance of the sport psychological capital measurement was demonstrated across male and female athletes. Conclusion: The results of this study suggest that the psychological capital questionnaire may be a useful self-report measure with good reliability and validity. Current study provides researchers with a preliminary measure can be applied to sport field. |
