Validação do Questionário de Ambiente de Grupo (GEQ) para a língua portuguesa

Abstract

IntroduçãoNa área de estudos da dinâmica de grupos na Psicologia do Esporte, a maioria dos trabalhos (AOYAGI et al., 2008;GOMES et al., 2008;CHIOCCHIO;ESSIEMBRE, 2009; BORREGO et al., 2010;TOROS, 2011) tem utilizado o Group Environment Questionnaire (GEQ), de Carron et al. (1985), um instrumento multidimensional que busca avaliar e entender o ambiente de grupo de equipes esportivas. No entanto, em um exame da literatura, não encontramos estudos que verifiquem a validade do GEQ no contexto brasileiro, o que demonstra a escassez de instrumentos que avaliem o ambiente de uma equipe esportiva. Motriz, Rio Claro, v.18 n.4, p.770-782, out./dez. 2012 Validation of the Group Environment Questionnaire (GEQ) for Portuguese languageAbstract: This study aimed to translate the Group Environment Questionnaire (GEQ) to the Portuguese language and check its validity by validating the items through confirmatory factor analysis, internal consistency and test-retest reliability of this version. The subjects were seven professionals (four translators and three doctors in Sport Psychology) and 502 athletes of different kinds of collective sports of the state of Paraná. The Portuguese version was obtained from the method of cross-cultural translation. For data analysis it was used confirmatory factor analysis, Cronbach's alpha and the intraclass correlation coefficient. The results showed the Brazilian version contains clear and relevant items, showing Coefficient of Content Validity (CVC) > 0,70; it shows satisfactory internal consistency (r > 0,70) and acceptable test-retest reliability (r > 0,80). The confirmatory factor analysis showed that items 2 ("I'm happy with the amount of playing time I get") and 5 ("Some of my best friends are on this team") don't demonstrated acceptable reliability individually, thus they were excluded; the model with 16 items had satisfactory indices of fit of confirmatory factorial validity. It was concluded that Brazilian version of the GEQ has shown good psychometric characteristics and it proved to be valid to assess the group cohesion in sports teams.

A Cross-Cultural Adaptation of the Collective Efficacy Questionnaire for Sports (CEQS): Validity Evidence for a Brazilian Version

“…The Brazilian version presented an acceptable fit to the model originally proposed [X 2 (95) ¼ 309.72; X 2 /gl ¼ 3.26; CFI ¼ .93; GFI ¼ .93; TLI ¼ .92; RMSEA ¼ 0.06]. The internal consistency values for each dimension were satisfactory (GI-T¼.78; GI-S¼.80; IAG-T¼0.77; IAG-S¼0.76) (Nascimento Junior et al, 2012). The administration of this questionnaire took place at the athlete training and/or competition sites, as agreed to by the team leaders.…”

“…Materials and Procedure. To measure group cohesion in sports, we compared participants' responses to the CEQS-B with their responses to the Group Environment Questionnaire (GEQ), as translated and validated for Brazilian athletes (Nascimento Junior et al, 2012). This measure consists of 16 items that assess group cohesion in sports teams, allocated into four dimensions: Task Group Integration (GI-T), Social Group Integration (GI-S), Individual Attraction to Task Group (IAG-T) and Individual Attraction for the Social Group (IAG-S).…”

“…Athletes responded to items using a 9-point Likert scale ranging from 1 (Strongly Disagree) to 9 (Strongly Agree). The results were attributed to each subscale, obtained based on the arithmetic mean of the answers given to the items corresponding to each dimension (Carron et al, 1985;Nascimento Junior et al, 2012). The Brazilian version presented an acceptable fit to the model originally proposed [X 2 (95) ¼ 309.72; X 2 /gl ¼ 3.26; CFI ¼ .93; GFI ¼ .93; TLI ¼ .92; RMSEA ¼ 0.06].…”

Psychometric properties of the Child Sports Cohesion Questionnaire to Brazilian Portuguese

“…Even though GEQ has a Spanish-adapted version (Iturbide et al, 2010;Leo et al, 2015) and a Brazilian-adapted version (Nascimento, Vieira, Rosado & Serpa, 2012), there had been no Brazilian-adapted instruments to assess sports cohesion among children until Pieri et al's (2016) first study. According to Borsa, Damásio and Bandeira ( 2012), the cross-cultural adaption of an instrument allows cultural comparisons.…”

“…In the Brazilian context, the GEQ (Nascimento Júnior, Vieira, Rosado & Serpa, 2012) has been adapted and validated, with its specific version for high-performance futsal and football (Nascimento Júnior, Contreira, Moreira, Pizzo, Ribeiro & Vieira, 2016) and as well as the CSCQ (Pieri et al, 2016). Both instruments demonstrated satisfactory psychometric properties for the Brazilian context.…”
