Abstract :
The purpose of this investigation was to examine psychometric proprieties of Tunisia adapted POSQ-CH. This version in Arabic language of the POSQ-CH instrument were elaborated by committee and back translation methods and tested among groups of Tunisian athletes. The sample was comprised 425 Tunisian boys and girls athletes, participating in various sports in Tunisia. The participants were divided into 2 groups considering level of practice: elite level athletes (n=185) and competitive level athletes (n=240). All subjects filled in the two components (6 items for each) of the adapted tool; which evaluate Task orientation and Ego orientation. The results shows that translated version of the POSQ-CH could discriminate elite and competitive athlete in the both sub-scales. Also, the means of Cornobach’s alpha were respectively .84 and .83 for Task orientation and Ego orientation. In addition, Confirmatory Factorial Analyze demonstrates an adequate factorial structure and confirms the initial model of the two orthogonal sub-scales.
The development of this version will allow psychologists and coaches in the Arab countries to exploit this preliminary translation for assessing Task and Ego orientation of their athletes.
