Open publisher page 0 citations

Abstract

The Sport Socialization Inventory of Greendorfer and Lewko was translated into Spanish and administered to two samples of Costa Rican children, ages 9 to 12 yr. Concurrent and construct validities were examined. The correlation of Active Sport Involvement score with demographic data on number of sports participated in yielded an r of .51 for concurrent validity. Principal components factor analysis, using loadings of .40 and higher, verified that the structure of the Spanish version was similar to that of the English version. Both test-retest stability over 8 days and internal consistency reliability were .95 for the total inventory.
