Özet:

The purpose of this study was to examine the reliability of Turkish adapted form of Sport Competence Inventory, developed by Vierimaa, Erickson, Côté, and Gilbert (2012) based on the views of athletes, coaches, and teammates. Sport Competence Inventory is composed of one dimension and three items, by which athlete, coach, and teammates separately evaluate athlete’s sport competence on a five-point Likert scale. The participants were from 36 distinct teams/groups (36 coaches) of 392 competitive youth athletes between 12 – 18 years of age (186 females and 206 males). The athletes were from artistic gymnastics, track and field, basketball, box, soccer, wrestling, rhythmic gymnastics, tennis, volleyball and swimming (Mage = 14.01; Sd = 1.86). To examine the reliability of the inventory, firstly, raters’ (athlete, coach, and teammate) internal consistency values (Cronbach’s Alpha) were calculated. In addition, inter-rater reliability was evaluated by calculating Intraclass Correlation Coefficient (ICC, Field, 2009) values for each item of the inventory. The findings indicated that Sport Competence Inventory is a reliable instrument in measuring youth sport athletes’ sport competence from 12 years of age.
