Abstract:

The aim of this study was to adapt Goal Commitment Scale, developed by Hollenbeck, Williams and Klein (1989), revised by Klein, Wesson, Hollenbeck and Wright (2001), to Turkish language, to analyze the validity and reliability in students studying in physical education and sport. Students in faculty of sport sciences at Mugla Sitki Kocman University and in faculty of sport sciences at Gazi University participated in the study. Collected data was analyzed by using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and test-retest reliability analysis. Goal Commitment Scale, adapted to Turkish language, has displayed one-factor construct as it is the same in the original scale, and the CFA analysis, applied in students studying in the field of physical education and sport, revealed the scale had good fit indices. It can be said that Turkish form of Goal Commitment Scale is valid and reliable in students studying in the field of physical education and sport
