Initial Validation of the Teacher/Coach Role Conflict Scale
Richards, K. Andrew R.; Levesque-Bristol, Chantal; Templin, Thomas J.
Measurement in Physical Education and Exercise Science, v18 n4 p259-272 2014
The study of teacher/coach role conflict has a long history in the physical education literature. However, only a few studies have measured the construct using psychometric instrumentation. Ryan (2008) created one such instrument, but the survey was not validated prior to use. As such, the purpose of this investigation was to evaluate the factorial, convergent, and divergent validity of Ryan's (2008) Teacher/Coach Role Conflict Scale. Participants included 194 teacher/coaches who taught a variety of academic subjects. Preliminary analyses indicated that there were no differences among participants with reference to gender, teaching affiliation, school context, or school level. Results from confirmatory factor analysis indicated that, after the specification of a correlated error, the hypothesized model was a good fit for the data, ?2(33) = 88.92, p < 0.001; CFI = 0.97; NNFI = 0.96; SRMR = 0.05; RMSEA = 0.09. Correlational analyses indicated that the instrument correlated positively with other measures of role stress and negatively with personal accomplishment, which supports convergent and divergent validity, respectively. Implications of the research as well as directions for future studies are discussed.
