Validation of the athlete psychological strain questionnaire among United States collegiate athletes
Psychological strain is an important facet of mental health amongst athletes. Having proper assessment tools for psychological strain can contribute to the screening for and prevention of negative mental health among athletes. The Athlete Psychological Strain Questionnaire, is a 10-item instrument used to assess psychological strain amongst athletes. The scale has been validated among samples of elite athletes. Despite psychological strain being relevant to collegiate athletes, the questionnaire has not been fully investigated among this group. Moreover, previous studies have not investigated invariance of the measure by gender. The present study aimed to assess the factor structure of the Athlete Psychological Strain Questionnaire, measurement invariance across gender, and associations between the Athlete Psychological Strain Questionnaire scores and other relevant measures, using a national sample of 1726 American collegiate athletes (Mage = 20.10, SDage = 1.83). The sample was randomly partitioned into exploratory (n = 403) and confirmatory (n = 1323) samples. Factor analysis and measurement invariance testing were conducted. Factor analysis results indicated a three-factor structure with good fit indices and is consistent with prior literature. Measurement invariance was established for men and women collegiate athletes. The correlations between the Athlete Psychological Strain Questionnaire and relevant constructs were assessed. The Athlete Psychological Strain Questionnaire may be a viable questionnaire to assess for psychological strain among collegiate athletes.
期刊介绍:
Psychology of Sport and Exercise is an international forum for scholarly reports in the psychology of sport and exercise, broadly defined. The journal is open to the use of diverse methodological approaches. Manuscripts that will be considered for publication will present results from high quality empirical research, systematic reviews, meta-analyses, commentaries concerning already published PSE papers or topics of general interest for PSE readers, protocol papers for trials, and reports of professional practice (which will need to demonstrate academic rigour and go beyond mere description). The CONSORT guidelines consort-statement need to be followed for protocol papers for trials; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the CONSORT checklist. For meta-analysis, the PRISMA prisma-statement guidelines should be followed; authors should present a flow diagramme and attach with their cover letter the PRISMA checklist. For systematic reviews it is recommended that the PRISMA guidelines are followed, although it is not compulsory. Authors interested in submitting replications of published studies need to contact the Editors-in-Chief before they start their replication. We are not interested in manuscripts that aim to test the psychometric properties of an existing scale from English to another language, unless new validation methods are used which address previously unanswered research questions.
