Validation of the Function Observational Learning Questionnaire for Brazilian Portuguese
Keywords:
Learning, Motor skills, Psychometrics, Test validityAbstract
The aim of this study was to obtain evidence of cross-cultural validity for Brazilian Portuguese of the Function
of Observational Learning Questionnaire (FOLQ). Study participants were swim, handball and volleyball athletes of both sexes (n = 362). Cronbach’s alpha and Kappa coefficient were used to evaluate the internal consistency of the items. Confirmatory Factor Analysis was performed to verify the appropriateness of the instrument to the conceptual model. To evaluate test-retest reliability of the instrument Student’s t- test was used with p < .05 for statistically significant differences. The results show that validity evidence was obtained for Brazilian Portuguese with 17 questions, maintaining the original three factors: skill, performance and strategy.
