Özet
This study aimed to develop a measurement tool (Cognitive Flexibility in Sports Scale-CFSS) whose validity and reliability have been checked by statistical methods to measure athletes' cognitive flexibility levels. Therefore, from expert opinions, data were obtained from the research groups with the pre-application form (60 items) and post-application form (20 items). The study was conducted with three groups consisting of different individuals. Validity-reliability checks were made with the research groups (1st Group=37 individuals, 2nd Group=241 individuals, 3rd Group=366 individuals). The sub-dimensions obtained from the analyses and the variance loadings they have/explain are as follows: 1. Ability to Produce Alternative Solutions (12.11%), 2. Strategic Flexibility (15.32%), 3. Situational Adaptability (14.97%) and 4. Problem Solving and Decision Making (14.07%). The total variance load of SBEÖ is 56.47%. The fit index values of SBEÖ are CMIN/DF: 2.995, RMSEA:.074, GFI:.89, AGFI:.86, CFI:.91, RMR:.043, NFI:.89, TLI:.89, IFI:.91, DF:164, CMIN:491.139. The criterion validity of CFSS was also checked. The pre-post application process analyses determined that the internal consistency coefficient was within the reference ranges (<.60) in the sub-dimensions and the overall scale. As a result, in this study, the “Cognitive Flexibility Scale in Sports-CFSS”, consisting of 20 items and four sub-dimensions, the validity-reliability of which was checked with multiple methods, was developed and presented to the literature.
