In order to provide important realistic basis for standardizing, guiding and governing the guiding behavior of social sports instructors, the measuring tools of psychological expectation were compiled. According to the survey data of 285 social sports instructors and 365 social sports instructors, project analysis, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were carried out, and reliability and validity tests were conducted. The results are as follows: (1) the social sports instructors psychological contract scale by the growth and development, belonging and identity and norms and guidelines of three dimensions, 36 projects, divided into organizational responsibility subscales (growth liability, ownership, standard responsibility) and personal responsibility subscales (development rule of liability, recognition and responsibility) two subscales. (2) The Cronbach's Alpha value of organizational responsibility scale was 0.927 and KMO was 0.904 (P<0.5); the Cronbach's Alpha value of personal responsibility scale was 0.932 and KMO was 0.921 (P<0.5). The subscales of organizational responsibility and personal responsibility χ2/ DF < 3, GFI > 0.8, CFI < 0.9, RMSEA < 0.8; the structure and data fit well and meet the requirements of psychological test. (3) It is consistent with the realistic, conditional exchange and development-oriented dimensions of the authoritative psychological contract research contents at home and abroad, and reflects the group characteristics of social sports instructors in the expressions and specific items. Individual responsibility is greater than organizational responsibility; Organizational norms and personal norms have the highest expectation of responsibility; the pursuit of growth and development is greater than belonging identification. The psychological contract scale for social sports instructors has a reasonable structure, good reliability and validity, and reflects the value pursuit of the group. It is an ideal evaluation tool for studying the psychological contract of social sports instructors.

Objective. The aim of the study was to investigate the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Participation Scale (P-Scale). Methods. A total of 152 students, with a mean age of 20.27 ± 2.19 , participated in the study. Sociodemographic information (age, gender, and family income) was recorded; all participants completed the P-Scale twice with a 15-day interval. Translation and cross-cultural adaptation were performed to analyze the validity and reliability of the P-Scale. Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s alpha were used for scale reliability statistics and explanatory (EFA) and confirmatory (CFA) factor analysis; Mardia’s multivariate normality and assumption tests were used for the validity of the scale. The factor extraction methods were minimum rank factor analysis in EFA and weighted least squares mean and variance adjusted estimator polychoric correlation matrix in CFA. Results. Internal consistency of the scale was found good with Cronbach’s alpha (0.852) and excellent with McDonald’s alpha (0.924). The EFA and CFA resulted in two-factored structure, with the explained variance found to be higher than 30%. Conclusions. Analysis demonstrated that the P-Scale had a satisfactory level of reliability and validity in Turkish university students.

To validate the Vietnamese version Internet Gaming Disorder-20 (VN-IGD-20) Test for teenagers, a survey among 349 gamers, who were accepted in the interview, from secondary and high schools from 28 game stores was conducted in Hanoi, Vietnam. The IGD-20 Test comprised 20 items with six different dimensions, using a 5-point Likert scale. Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confrmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used to examine the validation; Cronbach’s Alpha was performed to test the reliability; and Latent class analysis (LCA) was applied to identify the level of internet gaming disorder (IGD). Moreover, the ROC curve diagram was used with the highest Youden’s Index parameter to determine the best cut-off point. CFA proved that the VN-IGD-Test with 17 items, which was divided into fve-factor dimensions. The model indexes of the Vietnamese questionnaire included RMSEA = 0.053; SRMR = 0.052; GFI = 0.929; TLI = 0.908 and CFI = 0.927. The values for Cronbach’s alpha coeffcient of each dimension ranged from 0.823 to 0.840. The LCA found out four levels of IGD: casual gamers, regular gamers, low-risk engaged gamers, and high-risk engaged gamers. Additionally, the optimal empirical cut-off point with the highest Youden’s Index was 47.5 (out of 85). The present study fndings illustrated that the VN-IGD-17 Test could be used as a valid and reliable tool for assessing internet gaming disorder in Vietnamese teenagers.

(1) Objective: To assess the reliability and validity of the simplified Chinese version of the brief Diabetes Quality of Life (DQoL) questionnaire in measuring health-related quality of life (HRQoL) in Chinese type 2 diabetes (T2D) patients. (2) Methods: A cross-sectional validation study including 277 patients was conducted at a tertiary hospital in Shanghai, China during April–May, 2018. The English brief DQoL was forward and back-translated into simplified Chinese. The expert interview, exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and Spearman correlation with the 5-level version of EuroQoL-5 (EQ-5D-5L) were employed to establish its validity. The internal reliability was assessed by Cronbach’s alpha. Participants were also stratified into subgroups to evaluate if the Chinese brief DQoL had more test effectiveness in a specific subpopulation. (3) Results: No items were removed from the original English brief DQoL based on the results of factor analysis and expert interview. The Spearman coefficient revealed a low-moderate inverse correlation between DQoL and EQ-5D-5L index and visual analogue scale (VAS), respectively (ρ1 = −0.364, p < 0.0001; ρ2 = −0.514, p < 0.0001). The Cronbach’s alpha coefficient of the final scale was 0.731. (4) Conclusions: The simplified Chinese version of the brief DQoL questionnaire showed reasonable reliability and validity, suggesting its potential appropriateness for evaluating quality of life in Chinese T2D patients. More future efforts should be made to generalize the application of the findings.
