Abstract

Purpose: Sports success is an active learning process achieved through targeted training and improving necessary skills to reach a high level of sports performance. The aim of this research was to psychometrically measure the sports success scale in athletes.
Methods: This research is non-experimental and falls under instrument development studies. Data was collected cross-sectionally from athletes in Yasouj city. The statistical sample included 320 individuals who completed the sports success scale through available sampling methods. The questionnaire comprised 29 questions and six components (Flow state, Attention, Technique, Sensitivity to error, Commitment, Achievement). Confirmatory factor analysis based on the structural equation model was used to validate the factor structure. Internal homogeneity was assessed using Cronbach's alpha coefficient, and temporal reliability was determined using the intra-class correlation coefficient.
Results: The findings of this study indicate an optimal fit of the sports success scale. Internal consistency and temporal stability showed acceptable values.
Conclusion: The sports success scale demonstrates acceptable validity and reliability among athletes. Psychologists and researchers can utilize this questionnaire.
