Development and Validation of Controlling Coach Behaviors Scale

초록

This article outlines the development and initial validation of the Controlling Coach Behavior Scale (CCBS), a multidimensional self-report measure designed to assess sports coaches' controlling interpersonal style, which originated from the work of Bartholomew, Ntoumanis and Thøgersen-Ntoumanis (2010). CCBS is consisted of four factors (15-items) with controlling use of rewards, conditional regard, intimidation, and excessive personal control. Data were collected from 287 youth athletes (basketball, soccer, rugby and volleyball players). In order to test the validity and reliability of Korean version of CCBS (K-CCBS), we performed exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to confirm the factorial validity, as well as internal consistency and correlations among four variables. As a result, K-CCBS had 4 factors with 15 items, and each four factor was negatively correlated with coach autonomy support. Overall, the scale demonstrated good content and factorial validity. Recommendation and suggestion for its use in research pertaining to the controlling behaviors of coaching and sport participation are discussed.
