Abstract

The aim of this research is to assess the reliability and the validity of The Psychological Commitment to Team Scale which was developed by Mahony et al. (2000). 390 participants whose average age was 20,97 from different faculties and departments of  Sakarya University participated in the study. Three factors explaining %55, 95 of total variance were obtained from Principal Components Analysis which was carried out to determine the factor structure of the scale. The validity and reliability of the scale were assessed by Principal Components Analysis, internal consistency, split-half, item total correlation and test-retest methods. Test-retest correlation was 0,54 (p<,001) and Cronbach’s Alpha for all items was determined to be 0,80.

The results of the analysis showed that Turkish version of The Psychological Commitment to Team Scale is a valid and reliable scale which can be used for further studies in sports context.
