Constructing a Self-Efficacy Scale for Volleyball Players

Abstract

The research aims to construct a self-efficacy scale for volleyball players. The researcher used the descriptive survey method to suit the nature of the study. The researcher selected a sample of (120) players from the clubs (Naft al-Janoob, al-Shurta, Peshmerga, Erbil, Masafi al-Shamal, al-Jaish, al-Habbaniya, and al-Bahri). They were divided into (20) players for the pilot study, and (100) players to apply the scale. The researcher used a self-efficacy scale for volleyball players (prepared by the researcher) as a basic tool for collecting data. One of the most important results was the construction of a self-efficacy scale for soccer players, which includes two axes: (the physical self-efficacy of volleyball players - the skills self-efficacy of volleyball players). The scientific coefficients of the physical self-efficacy scale for volleyball players indicate the possibility of its application. One of the most important recommendations was to use the scale that the researcher arrived at as a scientific means to measure self-efficacy for volleyball players.
