Objective:
To revise Sport Courage Scale (SCS) suitable for Chinese athletes.
Methods:
Six hundred and eighty three athletes were selected for verification factor analysis, correlation analysis, reliability analysis, and independent sample t-test using the method of random sampling of the entire group.
Results:
Confirmatory factor analysis model showed that model 1 (25 items) failed to fit the data; while model 2 (20 items) was finally accepted with its five-factor model. The factor structure consists of 5 dimensions (χ2/df = 2.262;CFI = 0.969;TLI = 0.963; RMSEA = 0.043; SRMR = 0.044). Cronbach's α of the final version of SCS was 0.845, and the corrected correlation coefficient between the items and the total score of the scale was between 0.352 and 0.788.
Conclusion:
Revised SCS has good reliability and validity and can be used as a measurement tool for the sports courage of athletes in China.
