As sporting challenge at the elite level becomes ever harder, maximizing effectiveness of the talent development pathway is crucial. Reflecting this need, this paper describes the development of the Talent Development Environment Questionnaire, which has been designed to facilitate the development of sporting potential to world-class standard. The questionnaire measures the experiences of developing athletes in relation to empirically identified "key features" of effective talent development environments. The first phase involved the generation of questionnaire items with clear content and face validity. The second phase explored the factor structure and reliability. This was carried out with 590 developing athletes through application of exploratory factor analysis with oblique rotation, principal axis factoring extraction and cronbach alpha tests. This yielded a 59-item, seven-factor structure with good internal consistency (0.616-0.978). The Talent Development Environment Questionnaire appears to be a promising psychometric instrument that can potentially be useful for education and formative review in applied settings, and as a measurement tool in talent development research.
随着精英水平的体育挑战变得越来越难，最大限度地提高人才发展途径的效果至关重要。反映这一需求，本文介绍了人才发展环境问卷的开发，该问卷旨在促进运动员发展到世界级标准的潜力。该问卷衡量了发展中运动员在与有效人才发展环境的“关键特征”相关的经验。第一阶段涉及生成具有明确内容和表面有效性的问卷项目。第二阶段探索了因素结构和可靠性。这是通过应用具有斜旋转的探索性因素分析、主成分因素提取和 Cronbach alpha 测试，对 590 名发展中的运动员进行的。这产生了一个具有良好内部一致性（0.616-0.978）的 59 项七因素结构。人才发展环境问卷似乎是一种很有前途的心理计量学工具，在应用环境中，它可能有助于教育和形成性审查，并作为人才发展研究的一种测量工具。
