Whether participating in sports builds character and if character can be measured continues to be a debated, though important, topic. Almost daily we read or hear about athletes displaying poor character. Most research shows that as the level of sport competition increases, the level of character decreases. However, participating in sports, at any level, can and should build positive character. An insightful three-part exchange between Gough, Stoll, and Holowchak, discussed the merits and feasibility of measuring character through sport. Gough and Holowchak argued that the construct of "character" is too elusive and that empirical attempts to measure it lack validity. Stoll disagreed with Gough and Holowchak and developed an instrument that measures character in sport. We agree with Stoll for two reasons: (1) The problem of character in sport is too big to be ignored; and (2) Attempts to measure character contribute to efforts to address the character in sport problem. These two reasons resulted in a research effort to develop a valid and reliable instrument to measure the character of individuals participating in sport. The research resulted in the validation of a user friendly, less time consuming, psychometrically sound instrument that measures character in a sport setting. (Contains 1 table.)
