Abstract

The aim of this study is the adaptation of The Attitudes to Moral Decision-Making in Youth Sport Questionnaire to Turkish student sample aged between 11-19. Data was collected from 398 student athletes. Cronbach’s Alfa Coefficient of the AMDYSQ was found 0,76, and test retest reliability coefficient was found 0,855. The validity of the AMDYSQ analyzed with confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Fit indices values for all parameters were found to be good or excellent (Chi-square/df=2,85; GFI= 0,96; AGFI= 0,93; CFI= 0,96; NNFI= 0,94; RMSEA= 0,068; SRMR= 0,047). As a result, it was determined that the data obtained from the Turkish form of AMDYSQ scale was described by the theoretical structure and reliability coefficients were sufficient.
