Abstract

The sports coach is considered one of the most influential figures for the athletes, being important to count on measures that can assess their fair play behavior. In this sense, the present study aimed to adapt and verify validity evidence based on the internal structure of the Sportsmanship Coaching Behavior Scale (SCBS) for the Brazilian sports context. Initially, translations, cultural adaptations and content validity of the SCBS were performed, with the participation of 20 young athletes (average age 15.44 ± 2.53) and five specialist doctors in the field of sport psychology. The content validity demonstrated that the items of the instrument were clear and relevant (CVCs between 0.80 and 1.00) and that they were evaluating the correct dimensions (Kappa ≥ 0.70). To verify the construct validity of the SCBS, 302 young athletes of both sexes participated (mean age 16.1 ± 3.61). Using the FACTOR statistical program, an exploratory factor analysis identified a factorial structure with four factors, explaining 69% of the total variance, composed of 20 items distributed in the factors: Prioritizes winning over good sportsmanship - PV (α = 0.85, ω = 0.87); Teaches good sportsmanship - EBEE (α = 0.83, ω = 0.85); Is a model of good sportsmanship - MBEE (α = 0.72, ω = 0.77); and Punishes the poor sportsmanship - PPEE (α = 0.70, ω = 0.74). Future studies are necessary to confirm this factorial structure and expand the evidence of validity of SCBS for the Brazilian context, carrying out analyzes based on external variables, for example.
