Three-Dimensional Anxiety Scale for Sport: Development and Validity Evidence Based on Content

Abstract This study aimed to develop and search for content validity evidences of an anxiety measure for athletes. An international literature review on the construct was carried out for the construction of 128 self-report items. The procedures of judge and semantic analysis were made after the elaboration of the instrument. The judges obtained 80.94% agreement and kappa indicated significant substantial agreement. By observing the kappa of each dimension, we conclude that the judges correctly identified the dimension of the items. However, the concordance in relation to the facets did not obtain the same indicators, a result that meets the studies of the three-dimensional model and may suggest the unsustainability of the facets. In the semantic analysis the participants indicated clarity regarding instructions and diagramming, with only three modified items. In general terms, the instrument presented favorable initial evidence of validity, and complementary studies are needed to gather evidence from other sources.
