The aim of the present study was to investigate the factorial validity of the Brunel Mood Scale for use with Malaysian athletes. Athletes (N = 1485 athletes) competing at the Malaysian Games completed the Brunel of Mood Scale (BRUMS). Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) results indicated a Confirmatory Fit Index (CFI) of .90 and Root Mean Squared Error of Approximation (RMSEA) was 0.05. The CFI was below the 0.95 criterion for acceptability and the RMSEA value was within the limits for acceptability suggested by Hu and Bentler, 1999. We suggest that results provide some support for validity of the BRUMS for use with Malaysian athletes. Given the large sample size used in the present study, descriptive statistics could be used as normative data for Malaysian athletes. Key pointsFindings from the present study lend support to the validity of the BRUMS for use with Malaysian athletes.Given the size of the sample used in the present study, we suggest descriptive data be used as the normative data for researchers using the scale with Malaysian athletes.It is suggested that future research investigate the effects of cultural differences on emotional states experienced by athletes before, during and post-competition.
本研究旨在探讨 Brunel 情绪量表在马来西亚运动员中的因子有效性。在马来西亚运动会上参赛的运动员(N=1485 名运动员)完成了 Brunel 情绪量表(BRUMS)。验证性因素分析(CFA)的结果表明,拟合优度指数(CFI)为 0.90,近似均方根误差(RMSEA)为 0.05。CFI 低于可接受性的 0.95 标准,而 RMSEA 值在 Hu 和 Bentler(1999)提出的可接受性范围内。我们建议结果为 BRUMS 在马来西亚运动员中的有效性提供了一些支持。鉴于本研究中使用的样本量很大,描述性统计数据可以作为马来西亚运动员的常模数据。关键点本研究的结果支持 BRUMS 在马来西亚运动员中的有效性。鉴于本研究中使用的样本量很大,我们建议将描述性数据用作研究人员使用该量表时的常模数据。建议未来的研究调查文化差异对运动员赛前、赛中和赛后情绪状态的影响。
