Özet:

In this study, a study was carried out to adapt the scale of sports engagement to the Turkish culture. The study’s study group in the University of Bozok body education and sports high school is 173 percent of women, 218 percent of men, 56 percent of the total of 391 athletes. In the stage of the creation of the Turkish form of the scale, the translation, the reverse stages are carried out by two language experts and two fields experts. The conformity to the psychometric characteristics of the Turkish form has been verified by two measurement and evaluation experts. With the final pilot study, the conclusion is that the materials are clear and understandable enough, the final form of the scale is prepared for the original application. According to the results of the verifying factor analysis for the purpose of testing the structure validity of the scale, the scale for both the single factor and the three-factor structure of all substances was found in the range of 0.69 to 0.8 of the factor load values; the ratio of χ2/sd from the conformity good values was less than three, the CFI, GFI, TLI and IFI values in the range of 0.90-1.00; the RMSEA range was 0-0.8. Although the three-factor model of the measurement appears to have somewhat better compatibility values than the one-factor model, it has been found that both models confirm the structure at a good level. For the close validity of the sport commitment scale in exercise the core psychological needs scale and the correlations between them have been studied and a strong and meaningful relationship between the total points of the two scales has been found in a positive direction rxy= 0. 57, p

Özet:

In this study, Sports Engagement Scale was adapted to Turkish culture. The study group consists of 391 athlete-students, 173 44% of who are female and 218 56% are male. During the creation of Turkish form of the scale, the translation was done by two language experts and two field experts. Turkish form’s conformity to the psychometric properties was checked by two assessment and evaluation experts. Lastly, the final form of the scale was formed by making sure the questions were clear and understandable by conducting a pilot test. According to the results of the confirmatory factor analysis, which was performed to test the construct validity of the scale, for both singlefactor and three factors structure of the scale, the load factor values of all items were between 0.69 and 0.8; χ2/sd ratio, which is one of the goodness fit values, was below three; CFI, GFI, TLI and IFI values were between 0.90-1.00 and RMSEA was found to be between 0 and 0.8. While the goodness fit ratio of the scale’s three-factor model was determined to be a little better than its single-factor model, both models were found to validate the structure quite well. For the convergent validity of the Sports Engagement Scale, the correlations between Basic Psychological Needs in Exercise Scale were explored and a positive and significant correlation between sum scores of the two scales were determined rxy=0.57, p
