Building a measure of psychological orientation for players participating in the Tournament of The University of Mustansiriyah handball

Abstract

The importance of research lies through the researcher's approach to the concept of psychological orientation and its study in all respects. It is the first Iraqi study (to the researcher's knowledge) to address this variable in the field of sports. The problem of research lies in the lack of a measuring tool that measures this concept in athletes and reveals it, but the objectives of the research were to build a measure of the psychological orientation of the players participating in the Championship of the University of Al Mustansiriyah handball for the academic year (2018-2019)

       The descriptive approach was used and the researcher based the procedures of building the scale through the researcher's description of psychological orientation and identified its areas by presenting the survey form to a group of experts and specialists and defining each area and defined by five areas. The five-point edifying scale was used. Based on the opinion of the experts, (53) paragraphs were retained distributed over the five areas of the scale and the researcher conducted a survey experiment on a sample outside the basic research sample. The scale was then applied to the basic trial sample (construction sample) of 105 players who were deliberately selected. The researcher used two statistical methods to analyze the paragraphs, namely the method of extremist groups and the method of internal consistency and in the light of the results that appeared, the paragraphs containing a discriminatory force have a moral significance. This procedure was applied to all paragraphs and some paragraphs were deleted because they did not reach the moral level, but honesty was verified using the sincerity of the content and the sincerity of the construction, as well as the stability was verified by the half-fragmentation method and Alpha Kronbach. The Statistical Bag of Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to extract the results of the research:
