Abstract

CHAMORRO, José L; MORENO, Rubén  and  GARCIA-MARTI, Carlos. Validation of the Spanish Version of the Reflection Scale for Young Elite Football Players. Pensam. psicol. [online]. 2020, vol.18, n.2, pp.130-140.  Epub Dec 30, 2020. ISSN 1657-8961.  https://doi.org/10.11144/javerianacali.ppsi18-2.vvee.

Objective.

To validate the Spanish version of the Reflection Scale from the instrument Reflective Learning Continuum for young elite football players.

Method.

Validation study. The original version was translated and adapted following the protocol of the American Psychological Association. Once translated, the version was administered to 478 young elite players together with the Behavioral Regulation in Sport Questionnaire, aiming to evaluate the psychometric properties. In addition, internal consistency analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and bivariate correlations analysis with theoretically related variables were carried out.

Results.

The Spanish version of the Reflection Scale shows cultural and linguistic evidence with its original version. Moreover, confirmatory factor analysis showed an acceptable fit to the data χ²(df)= 28.61 (88), p < 0.001, RMSEA (90% CI) = 0.07 (0.06-0.08), CFI = 0.99, TLI = 0.99. Also, the internal consistency analyses, as well as the relationship with motivation, support the validated version.

Conclusion.

The results provide evidence in favour of the psychometric properties of the Spanish validation of the Reflection Scale.
