“…Given the existence of a questionnaire model and with evidence of the discriminatory power of its items, the CFA was performed to corroborate the suitability of the indicators to evaluate the latent variables (Anderson-Butcher et al 2016). This statistical test was done with N = 755 and analyzed with AMOS software, version 24.…”

The objective of this research is to adapt and validate a useful instrument to diagnose cyberbullying, provoked by intolerance towards cultural and religious diversity, identifying the profile of the aggressor and the victim. The study was carried out using the Delphi technique, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The selected sample was composed of 1478 adolescents, all students from Compulsory Secondary Education of Spain. The instrument items were extracted from relevant scales on the topic. The initial questionnaire was composed of 52 items and three underlying constructs. After validation with EFA (n = 723), the structure was checked, and the model was later corroborated with CFA (n = 755) through structural equations (RMSEA = 0.05, CFI = 0.826, TLI = 0.805). The reliability and internal consistency of the instrument were also tested, with values for all dimensions being higher than 0.8. It is concluded that this new questionnaire has 38 items and three dimensions. It has an acceptable validity and reliability, and can be used to diagnose cyberbullying caused by the non-acceptance of cultural and religious diversity in Compulsory Secondary Education students.

“…Successful teamwork is characterized by peer acceptance, a sense of belonging among and between team members, and the willingness to help each other toward a common purpose. [40][41][42] When working successfully with a team, youth have the opportunity to experience supporting and trusting others and to practice tolerance and inclusion. 42 YSLs can identify, reinforce, and leverage these competencies to promote PYD and improve team performance but only if they themselves are aware of the nuances associated with successful team building/teamwork.…”

Central to the ability of successfully facilitating sport participation toward positive developmental outcomes is the youth sport leader. Youth sport leaders are responsible for addressing the many stressors and risk factors that youth encounter in both sport and life. However, a majority of youth sport leaders do not receive coaching education or training, especially in regard to youth development. The purpose of this study was to gain a greater understanding of the various factors, which affect youth sport leaders, their team, and the community in which they coach. The four key areas of team building/teamwork, parental influence/involvement, sportsmanship, and teaching life skills emerged. By better understanding the issues within youth sport, researchers will be more aware of the most relevant issues to guide future research and to inform the development of coaching education. Moreover, youth sport leaders will be better equipped and prepared to maximize youth development through sport participation.

“…The Perceived Social Competence Scale ( PSCS ; Anderson-Butcher et al, 2014) consisted of 5 items related to perceived social competence (e.g., “I find it pretty easy to make friends” and “I am popular with others my age”). Social competence is the degree to which adolescents engage in prosocial behaviors that allow them to create and maintain positive social interactions with others.…”

The Social Self-Control Scale (SSCS), which taps provocative behavior in social situations, was compared with five potentially-overlapping measures (i.e., temperament-related impulsivity, psychomotor agitation-related self-control, perceived social competence, and rash action in response to negative and positive affectively-charged states) as correlates of tobacco use and other drug use among a sample of 3,356 9th grade youth in southern California high schools. While there was a lot of shared variance among the measures, the SSCS was incrementally associated with both categories of drug use over and above alternate constructs previously implicated in adolescent drug use. Hence, social self-control (SSC) may relate to adolescent drug use through an etiological pathway unique from other risk constructs. Given that youth who tend to alienate others through provocative social behavior are at risk for multiple drug use, prevention programming to modify low SSC may be warranted.
