Sporcular İçin Yaratıcılık Ölçeği (SYÖ)’nin Psikometrik Özelliklerinin İncelenmesi

In this study, it is aimed to develop a measurement tool that can measure the creativity levels of athletes as validandreliable. This research, which is depicted in a mixed model, was conducted in 2020 with 321 licensed athletes whoare continuing their sportive careers in Ankara. In order to determine the psychometric properties of the measurement tool, analyzes related to construct validity were applied. Firstly, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) was applied for constructvalidity; Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was also used to verify the structure obtained as a result of EFA. As a result of EFA and CFA, a structure consisting of 19 items and a single dimension was obtained with the power to explain 39.95% of the total variance. In order to determine the discrimination of items for item analyzes, the corrected item total test correlation was examined and whether there was a difference between the item score aver ages of 27% over and under the total score. With the Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient and test-retest techniques, the reliability of theme asuring tool was examined. Cronbach Alfa and test-retest analyzes provide devidence that the measuring tool is highly reliable. In line with these findings, it was determined that the Creativity Scale for Athletes (ACS) is a data collection tool that can provide validand reliable measurements and that it can measure the creativity levels of athletes.
