PINEDA-ESPEJEL, HA; MORQUECHO-SANCHEZ, R e GADEA-CAVAZOS, Erika. Evidence of test-criterion validity in the use of the Sport-Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale-2. CPD [online]. 2018, vol.18, n.3, pp.129-140. Epub 26-Jul-2021. ISSN 1989-5879.
The main purpose of this study was to to describe evidence´s of criterion validity of the Multidimensional Scale of Perfectionism in Sport-2 (Sport-MPS-2) adapted to the Mexican population. Participated 222 Mexican adolescents, youth, and adult athletes (Mage = 20.14, SD = 3.69), from different sports, who answered a several questionnaires. Previously, the internal structure of the instrument was analyzed through a confirmatory factor analysis. Then competitive anxiety and the perception of competence were used as measures of criterion validity, using bivariate correlation analysis. The results confirmed the structure of six independent factors, of which the composite reliability was adequate, except for the pressure factor of the trainer. In constrast the average variance extracted lacked a good fit, and only discriminant validity was assumed in two of the six factors. In addition, the criterion test results suggested little convincing evidence of criterion validity of the instrument with this study sample, since the associations expected were significant, but with low coefficients. Thus, more studies are required with other samples of athletes and sports, in order to evaluate more adequately the psychometric properties of the instrument, and to be able to affirm its proper use.
