Sažetak
The aim of this study was to develop a questionnaire for the
assessment of perceived legitimacy of unsportsmanlike conduct,
to examine its psychometric characteristics and relations with
gender, sport experience, and competition level. The
questionnaire (PLNP) has 14 items describing physical
aggression, verbal aggression and cheating. The participant
assesses the acceptability of each type of behavior on a Likert
five-point scale. The degree of perceived legitimacy can be
obtained on the basis of answers to each questionnaire item,
the results on the subscales – Legitimacy of Serious Fouls,
Legitimacy of Less Serious Fouls, and Legitimacy of Verbal
Aggression – or on the basis of the total result. Psychometric
characteristics of the questionnaire were tested on a sample of
251 students of the Faculty of Kinesiology. Principal
components factor analysis revealed a simple and semantically
interpretable factor structure. Cronbach's reliability coefficients
ranged from 0.77-0.86, while test-retest reliability ranged from
0.67-0.85. Multiple regression analyses revealed different
relations of gender, sport experience, and competition level with
PLNP subscales. The developed questionnaire showed
satisfactory psychometric characteristics and that it can be used
for the assessment of perceived legitimacy of serious fouls, less
serious fouls, and verbal aggression in sports.
