DanceSport is described as a dance involving a male-female partner. It is important to comprehend the partnership between dance couples so that their competitive performance can be effectively supported. However, only a few studies have verified the influence of partnership between DanceSport couples on competitive performance and explored its psychological mechanism to provide means to deal with the partnership. The reason was that there was a lack of appropriate assessment tools.
This multi-study outlines the development, content, and construct validity of a novel, mixed-method tool to assess DanceSport partnership.
The development of the Partnership Scale-DanceSport Couples (PS-DSC) included four studies and data from four samples of Chinese elite dancers ( = 914 total). In stage 1, outlined in study 1, PS-DSC items were generated and then refined using the feedback provided by academics, sports coaches, and elite dancers. In stage 2, outlined in studies 2 and 3, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used to examine the structure of the PS-DSC items. In stage 3, outlined in study 4, composite reliability, discriminant validity, and convergent validity were assessed. The result of this process was a 13-item three-factor instrument. Based on these initial findings, the PS-DSC provided the first valid and reliable way of measuring partnerships between DanceSport couples.
This study has taken the promising first step in developing a tool to comprehensively measure partnerships between DanceSport couples.
体育舞蹈被描述为一种涉及男女舞伴的舞蹈。理解舞蹈情侣之间的搭档关系非常重要，这样才能有效地支持他们的竞技表现。然而，只有少数研究验证了体育舞蹈情侣之间的搭档关系对竞技表现的影响，并探索了其心理机制，以提供处理搭档关系的方法。原因是缺乏合适的评估工具。
这项多研究概述了一种用于评估体育舞蹈搭档关系的新型混合方法工具的开发、内容和结构效度。
体育舞蹈情侣搭档量表（PS-DSC）的开发包括四项研究以及来自中国精英舞者四个样本的数据（总计 = 914）。在第1阶段，如研究1所述，生成了PS-DSC项目，然后根据学者、体育教练和精英舞者提供的反馈进行完善。在第2阶段，如研究2和3所述，使用探索性因素分析和验证性因素分析来检验PS-DSC项目的结构。在第3阶段，如研究4所述，评估了组合信度、区分效度和收敛效度。这个过程的结果是一个包含13个项目的三因素工具。基于这些初步发现，PS-DSC提供了第一种有效且可靠的方法来衡量体育舞蹈情侣之间的搭档关系。
本研究在开发一种全面衡量体育舞蹈情侣之间搭档关系的工具方面迈出了充满希望的第一步。
