Adaptación Española de la Escala de Pasión al Ámbito Deportivo

Resumo

Passion towards an activity constitutes one of the main features when explaining both physical and emotional well - being. The type of passion experienced toward sport, obsessive or harmonious, has different effects on emotions and exercise adherence. A Spanish adaption of the Passion Scale in sport context is proposed in this paper. In the first study, the scale has been applied to 146 athletes (M age = 15.94; SD age =1.99). Once the scale was calibrated, 396 athletes from different competitive categories (M age =18.74; SD age = 6.35), Autonomous Communities and sports were assessed. Qu antitative analyses confirmed the bidimensionality of the scale (χ 2 /df = 2.74, CF I=95; TLI=93; RMSEA= 0.056 - 0.079; WRMR=.94), showing and adequate reliability (α= .81 in both dimensions). Evidence of validity in relation to other variables such as affect, moti vation and coach autonomy support are provided.
