Revision and Japanese translation of the Collective Efficacy Questionnaire for Sports: Test of its construct validity

Abstract

AbstractCollective e‹cacy has been identiˆed as a critical determinant of team success in sport. Many studies in sport psychology have focused on the relationships between collective e‹cacy and psychological variables or outcomes of interest. Although an increasing number of studies on collective e‹cacy have been conducted in Japan, greater attention should be given to reˆning the methodology for assessing the construct of collective e‹cacy. The purposes of this study were to conˆrm the factor structure and establish construct validity of the Japanese translated version of the Collective E‹cacy Questionnaire for Sports (J CEQS) with revisions to its original version (Short et al., 2005). The participants were 1244 athletes from 48 teams. We conducted a conˆrmatory factor analysis and found that the J CEQS showed the same multidimensional factor structure as Short's original questionnaire. To test the construct validity of the J CEQS, we examined correlations among its subscale scores with the Group Environment Questionnaire (GEQ, Carron et al., 1985). All the J CEQS subscales were signiˆcantly correlated with the group integration-task subscales. The unity subscale of the J CEQS was also signiˆcantly correlated with all the GEQ subscales. These correlations were similar to those shown in previous studies (Martá ƒnez et al., 2011;Short et al., 2005). The presentˆndings provide preliminary support for the utility of the J CEQS as a measure for assessing collective e‹cacy in sport teams. We discuss recommendations for future studies using the J CEQS.

The examination of the psychometric properties of the Turkish Collective Efficacy Questionnaire for Sports

“…Following the lead of the North American researchers the importance of self-efficacy in physical education led researchers from various countries to focus on the subject. For example, collective efficacy research in sport has been conducted in Belgium (Fransen et al, 2012), Portugal (Duarte, 2008), Iran (Ramzaninezhad, Keshtan, Shahamat, & Kordshooli, 2009), France (Heuze et al, 2006), and Japan (Aria, 2011;Kawazu, Sugiyama, & Nakasuga, 2012;Uchida, Machida, Tsuchiya, & Kugihara, 2014). Researchers of these studies generally created their own sport-specific scales to measure collective efficacy.…”

Associations Between Different Educational Stages and Match Playing Opportunities with Collective Efficacy and Group Cohesion: An Examination of Competitive High-School and University Rugby Teams in Japan

“…To measure CE, we used a Japanese translated version of the Collective Efficacy Questionnaire for Sports (CEQS) originally created by Short et al (2005) (Nagao and Sugiyama, 2013;Uchida et al, 2014). The CEQS comprises five factors and twenty items; including Persistence (Factor 1), Preparation (Factor 2), Unity (Factor 3), Effort (Factor 4), and Ability (Factor 5).…”

“…GC was measured using a Japanese translated version of the Group Environment Questionnaire (GEQ), originally created by Carron et al (1985) (Oda et al, 2007;Uchida et al, 2014). The GEQ comprises four factors and eighteen items; including: Individual Attraction to the Group Social Advance Publication by J-STAGE Published online February 15, 2021 Cohesion (ATG-S; Factor 1), Individual Attraction to the Group Task Cohesion (ATG-T; Factor 2), Social Integration-Social Cohesion (GI-S; Factor 3), and Group Integration-Task Cohesion (GI-T; Factor 4).…”

“…El CEQS ha demostrado adecuadas propiedades psicométricas con deportistas estadounidenses (Short et al, 2005), españoles (Martínez, Guillén, & Feltz, 2011), brasileños (Paes, 2014), japoneses (Uchida, Machida, Tsuchiya, & Kugihara, 2014) o turcos (Öncü, Feltz, Lirgg, & Gürbüz, 2018). En su estudio original short et al, ( 2005) obtuvieron respaldo a la validez de constructo, convergente, predictiva y discriminante del CEQS, así como de su consistencia interna.…”

“…En su estudio original short et al, ( 2005) obtuvieron respaldo a la validez de constructo, convergente, predictiva y discriminante del CEQS, así como de su consistencia interna. Diferentes investigaciones han realizado estudios de adaptación y validación del CEQS (Martínez et al, 2011;Öncü et al, 2018;Paes, 2014;Uchida et al, 2014), para lo cual se han utilizando deportistas de diferentes deportes y niveles de rendimiento, encontrando respaldo a la fiabilidad y validez del cuestionario. Estos estudios confirmaron la estructura de cinco factores, con la misma distribución de los ítems.…”
