ABSTRACT

The aim of this study was to present the construction process of the Coping Inventory for Paralympic Athletes in Competition Situations (ICAP) and, as well, evidence of its content validity. The ICAP was developed to evaluate coping strategies in Paralympic athletes aged 18 years and older, possessing physical and/or visual impairment. The instrument is self-reported and includes the dimensions of Self-Reliance, Support-Seeking, Problem-Solving, Information-Seeking, Accommodation, Negotiation, Delegation, Social Isolation, Helplessness, Escape, Submission, and Opposition. Development of the instrument involved: (1) theoretical foundation based on the motivational theory of coping; (2) construction of the preliminary version of the instrument; (3) items analysis by expert judges; (4) semantic analysis of the items; and (5) pilot study. These procedures enabled the creation and refinement of the instrument. Some items were deleted and modified, reaching a final version of 91 items. This exhaustive process is considered to have ensured the content validity of the instrument. It is hoped that the ICAP can contribute in the future to the areas of sports psychology and Paralympic sport, both in the context of research and in practice.

摘要

本研究的目的是介绍残奥运动员比赛情况应对量表（ICAP）的构建过程，以及其内容有效性的证据。ICAP 旨在评估 18 岁及以上、有身体和/或视力障碍的残奥运动员的应对策略。该工具是自我报告的，包括自力更生、寻求支持、解决问题、寻求信息、住宿、谈判、授权、社会孤立、无助、逃避、服从和反对等维度。工具的开发涉及：（1）基于应对动机理论的理论基础；(2) 构建文书的初步版本；（三）专家评委项目分析；(4)项目的语义分析；(5)试点研究。这些程序使得仪器得以创建和完善。删除和修改了部分项目，最终版本达到91项。这一详尽的过程被认为确保了文书内容的有效性。希望 ICAP 未来能够在研究和实践方面为运动心理学和残奥运动领域做出贡献。
