Self-perceived contextual intelligence in sport. Development and validation of a questionnaire

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to create, develop, and validate a questionnaire about perceived contextual intelligence in sport in a sample of Spanish athletes of different levels of expertise. 2091 athletes (1519 men and 572 women) participated in this study with ages ranging from 11 to 59 years (M = 20.8, SD = 6.14). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis demonstrated that the questionnaire presented a three-dimensional (anticipatory intelligence, tactical intelligence, and competitive intelligence) structure, and it allows us to obtain a value from the overall scale called Perceived Contextual Intelligence in Sport. The psychometric properties of validity and reliability for this instrument were excellent to be used in studies in which this dimension was of interes

El propósito de este estudio ha sido el desarrollo y validación de un Cuestionario de Inteligencia Contextual Percibida en el Deporte en una muestra de deportistas españoles de diferente nivel de pericia. Participaron 2091 deportistas (1519 hombres y 572 mujeres) de edades comprendidas entre los 11 y los 59 años (M = 20,8; DT = 6,14). Los análisis factoriales exploratorio y confirmatorio mostraron que el cuestionario presentaba una estructura de tres dimensiones (inteligencia anticipatoria, inteligencia táctica e inteligencia competitiva), además de permitir obtener la obtención de un valor de la escala general denominado Inteligencia Contextual en el Deporte. Las propiedades psicométricas de validez y la fiabilidad del instrumento fueron excelentes para poder ser empleado en estudios en los que esta dimensión sea de interés
