Validation of "<i>creactability</i>" scale in football: a Rasch modeling approach.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

The aim of this study was to investigate the construct-related validity evidence of the "creactability" scale, developed for athletes in the sports field, using the Rasch model. The specific aims were (1) each scale measures a unidimensional construct, (2) the scale items investigate the Differential Item Functioning (DIF) base on team group (i.e., the rankings of higher and lower teams), (3) the range of "creactability" item difficulty and personal ability (respondents "creactability" levels) are wide enough to assess the "creactability" changes, and (4) "creactability" differs across subscales (7 points).

Methods

For Rasch analysis, data from a total of 241 football players were used from the K-League (Korean Professional Football
