Student-athletes are especially at risk of mental health impairment because of the demands of both the academic and athletic context. However, there is a lack of studies focusing on the impact of specific dual career factors on their mental health due to a lack of measurement tools designed to examine the interactions between student and athlete roles. The purpose of this study was to develop the Sport-School Interactions Scale in a long (SSIS-LF) and a short form (SSIS-SF) from existing work-family and school-family conflict and enrichment scales (Carlson et al., 2000; Carlson et al., 2006; van Rhijn et al., 2019). Factorial structure, discriminant validity, and reliability were examined and showed acceptable evidence in Study 1 (CFA goodness of fit : n = 371, χ² (528) = 1222.41, p < .001, CFI = .92, SRMR = .05, RMSEA = .06; McDonald’s omega coefficients ranged from .80 to .93) and Study 2 (n = 367, χ² (47) = 126.27, p < .001, CFI = .93, SRMR = .06, RMSEA = .07; McDonald’s omega coefficients ranged from .63 to .76). Moreover, concurrent validity was evidenced through the relationships between sport-school interactions and role-specific perceived stress and satisfaction, and global well-being.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
