Revision and Development of a Coping Checklist for Sport Based on Test Administration Immediately Following Participation
Haney, Colleen J.
International Journal of Testing, v4 n1 p75-81 Mar 2004
The purpose of this study was to revise and develop a coping checklist for sport. A higher order factor (engagement and disengagement coping) was identified to examine coping in sport situations. A revised 50-item Ways of Coping Checklist (WCC) was administered to 106 female athletes immediately after they had participated in a sport competition. Confirmatory factor analyses were performed on the revised WCC to examine the theoretically identified engagement and disengagement coping domains. As a result a revised 18-item inventory was internally consistent and had a better 2-factor structure than the "revised" 50-item inventory. The 18-item Coping Checklist for Sport was then administered to 4 different female and male participants (n = 197, n = 178, n = 102, n = 104). Coping items and factor loadings indicated a similar pattern across the different sport competitions and for men and women.
