Given sport's ever-increasing value and competitiveness, the race to identify and develop the next generation of sporting talent has never been more intense. Accordingly, in an effort to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of talent development, and recognising the critical role that psychology plays in these processes, this paper seeks to develop a formative assessment tool that will allow practitioners to measure and monitor the development of the psychological skills, characteristics and behaviours - both adaptive and maladaptive - that underpin effective development. Following a process of item generation and justification, a 135-item questionnaire was completed by 512 developing male athletes from academy-based team sports. Exploratory factor analysis was conducted to identify any underpinning latent factor structures, resulting in an 88-item, 7-factor solution that accounted for 40% of the explained variance, with an overall reliability of α = 0.879. A subsequent discriminant function analysis was conducted and the questionnaire was able to correctly classify 72.9% of participants based on their responses. Accordingly, the Psychological Characteristics of Developing Excellence Questionnaire version 2 (PCDEQ2) provides talent development environments with a valid and reliable measure form which to base effective psycho-behavioural interventions, ultimately improving the effectiveness of talent development processes.
鉴于体育的价值和竞争力不断提高，寻找和培养下一代体育人才的竞赛从未如此激烈。因此，为了提高人才培养的效果和效率，并认识到心理学在这些过程中所起的关键作用，本文旨在开发一种形成性评估工具，使从业者能够衡量和监测基础有效发展的心理技能、特征和行为——包括适应性和不良适应性。在进行项目生成和论证后，一个 135 项的问卷由 512 名来自学院制团队运动的发展中的男性运动员完成。进行探索性因素分析以确定任何潜在的潜在因素结构，得出 88 项 7 因素的解决方案，占解释方差的 40%，总体可靠性为α=0.879。随后进行判别函数分析，根据参与者的反应，问卷能够正确分类 72.9%的参与者。因此，《发展卓越的心理特征问卷 2 版》（PCDEQ2）为人才发展环境提供了一个有效的、可靠的衡量标准，以便基于有效的心理行为干预，最终提高人才发展过程的效果。
