Sažetak
Sports psychologist needs to understand how
psychological factors affect the performance of an
individual, and must take account of individual
differences among athletes. Although there are numerous
psychological measurement instruments for assessing the
important psychological characteristics of the athletes, it
is important to select instruments to customize athletes
with whom we work, adjusting with the work style of
sports psychologists, as well as to available time and other
constraints. The aim of this study is to determine the basic
psychometric characteristics of three questionnaires,
made out in the preliminary version of its own battery of
questionnaires, called Multidimensional questionnaire
sporting excellence (MUSI). Items cover space of
following psychological characteristics: somatic and
cognitive anxiety and mental hardiness / toughness. In this
part of the study, participants were stratified only by
gender. Our sample included 248 participants, of which
103 athletes (age 24.52 ± 11.80 years) and 145 female
athletes (age 16.61 ± 6.69 years), in the Croatian sports
clubs, competing in 16 different sports (archery, football,
handball, bocce, bowling, cycling, karate, rowing, tennis,
volleyball, basketball, synchronized swimming, triathlon,
table tennis, chess, badminton). Results of factor analysis
and examination of reliability of internal consistency
showed that each of subscales in the battery MUSI has
satisfactory reliability and validity, giving positive
guidance for future adaptation of the questionnaires in
MUSI for specific subpopulations of the athletes.
