Análisis de las propiedades psicométricas del Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ) en deportistas mexicanos

Abstract

El Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ) se ha convertido en el instrumento más utilizado para evaluar el burnout en el contexto deportivo, lo que ha permitido un incremento significativo en las investigaciones. A pesar de ello, una revisión en la literatura revela que no existen trabajos que proporcionen datos psicométricos del ABQ con muestra mexicana, por lo que el objetivo de la presente investigación fue analizar las propiedades psicométricas del Athlete Burnout Questionnaire en deportistas mexicanos. El análisis de los datos se desarrolló a través de 2 estudios, aplicando el cuestionario en el primero de ellos a una muestra de 464 jóvenes deportistas entre 13 y 18 años de edad (M = 14.85, DT = 1.45). Los resultados del Análisis Factorial Confirmatorio (AFC) indicaron índices de ajuste aceptables (c2 = 176.7; c2 /gl = 2.18; p < .01; TLI = .93, IFI = .95, CFI = .95 y RMSEA = .05) así como pesos de regresión aceptables para la estructura trifactorial del cuestionario original. Para el segundo estudio se utilizó una muestra de 1009 deportistas mexicanos entre 12 y 39 años de edad (M = 17.28, DT = 2.98). Los resultados del AFC encontraron suficiente evidencia para la validez de constructo (c2 = 419.5; c2 /gl = 5.59; p < .01; TLI = .94, IFI = .96, CFI = .96 y RMSEA = .07). Los resultados en el análisis de correlación entre el Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ) y el Athlete Engagement Questionnaire (AEQ) pueden considerarse como prueba favorable de la validez discriminante. En cuanto a la fiabilidad, se encontraron resultados aceptables en consistencia interna en ambas fases del estudio, concluyendo que el ABQ es una herramienta útil para evaluar el burnout en depotistas mexicanos. The Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ) has become one of the most used tools to assess burnout in sport contexts. Despite a significant increase in research in this field, the literature has shown that there are no papers which provide psychometric data of the ABQ using a Mexican sample. Hence the objective of the present study was to analyze the psychometric properties of the Athlete Burnout Questionnaire of Mexican athletes. Data analysis was obtained using two studies. The first study consisted of 464 young athletes between 13 and 18 years old (M = 14.85, DT = 1.45). The results of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) showed acceptable fit indices (c2 = 176.7; c2 /gl = 2.18; p < .01; TLI = .93, IFI = .95, CFI = .95 y RMSEA = .05) Acceptable results of load regression were also found for the original three factor questionnaire. A sample of 1009 Mexican athletes between 12 and 39 years of age (M = 17.28, SD = 2.98) were used for the second study. The results of the CFA found sufficient evidence for the construct validity (c2 = 419.5; 2cc2 /gl = 5.59; p < .01; TLI = .94, IFIS = .96, CFI = .96 and RMSEA = .07). The results in the analysis of correlation between the Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ) and the Athlete Engagement questionnaire (AEQ) can be considered as evidence of the discriminant validity. In regard to reliability, acceptable results were observed in internal consistency in both phases of the study, concluding that the ABQ is a useful tool to evaluate the burnout in Mexican athletes.

Burnout, Positivity and Passion in Young Mexican Athletes: The Mediating Effect of Social Support

“…The original version of ABQ was invented by Raedeke and Smith [ 7 ] and it consists of 15 items where the athlete is asked to indicate how frequently he/she presents the symptoms, recording their answers through a Likert scale which oscillates between 1 (not frequently) and 5 (very frequently). Different studies have confirm the reliability and validity of the ABQ [ 53 , 54 ]. The internal consistency reliability of the Mexican version of the ABQ by Cronbach’s was 0.91 for the Physical and emotional exhaustion subscale (PEE), 0.85 for the Devaluation of sports practice subscale (DSP) and 0.74 for the Reduced sense of achievement subscale (RSA).…”
