Adaptation of Sport Event Image Scale to Turkish Culture: A Validity and Reliability Study
The purpose of this study was to adapt the Turkish version of the “Sport Event Image Scale” (SEIS) developed by Kaplanidou and Vogt (2007) and to test its validity and reliability. 418 voluntary runners aged 18 years and above who agreed to attend the study and who ran in the 5km, 10km, and 21km com...

| description | The purpose of this study was to adapt the Turkish version of the “Sport Event Image Scale” (SEIS) developed by Kaplanidou and Vogt (2007) and to test its validity and reliability. 418 voluntary runners aged 18 years and above who agreed to attend the study and who ran in the 5km, 10km, and 21km competition routes in the "Gökova Half Marathon" event were the sample of the study. In the first stage of the adaptation process, the committee approach was utilized for language equivalence. Then, the pilot study was performed with 54 athletes who participated in the same event in the previous year via e-mail to test the comprehensibility of the scale items. In the next stage, to test the construct validity Confirmatory Factor Analysis was used. In addition, reliability was conducted with test-retest and internal consistency analysis. The CFA findings supported the single-factor structure of the scale in line with the original version (cmin/df = 3.441, RMSEA = 0.077, RMR = 0.007, GFI = 0.976, NFI = 0.994, CFI = 0.996, RFI = 0.976). The internal consistency coefficient value was 0.976 and the test-retest result was 0.901. As a result, according to the findings, it is possible to say that the adapted Turkish version of the SEIS preserved the psychometric properties, which can be used as a valid and reliable scale in future research studies that will be conducted on the Turkish population. |
