Testing the construct validity of an instrument

Jowett (2009). Validating Coach-Athlete relationship measures with the nomological network, Measurement in physical eudcation and exercise science, 13, 34 -51. The Quality of relationship Inventory (QRI) Confirmatory factorial analysis model (CFA) : CFI = 0, 94; SRMR = 0. 08; χ(129) = 202. 08, p <0. 00

Methods Participants : 346 women praticing soccer answer to a computerized self-report questionnaire (5 likert scale) M = 20. 48; SD = 1. 09

Conclusions We can’t find the results of Jowett (2009) because several items have psychometric problems (descriptive statistics, homogeneity (correlation), reliability or factorial validity) The different sampling (only female here) can explain this difference But it’s also a classical finding of the difficulty for replying scientific results… We don’t note significant differences of social support, depth and conflict when the coach is a male or a female.
