Erfassung von „Kohäsion im Team von Freizeit- und Gesundheitssportgruppen” (KIT-FG)

Published Online:April 10, 2014https://doi.org/10.1026/0943-8149/a000115

Abstract

Gruppenkohäsion hat sich für die Teilnahme an gesundheitsorientierter körperlicher und sportlicher Aktivität in der internationalen Forschung als besonders bedeutsam herausgestellt. Trotz dieses Sachverhalts existiert für den Bereich des Freizeit- und Gesundheitssports kein deutsches validiertes Messinstrument zu ihrer Erfassung. Das Ziel der vorliegenden Studie war es demnach einen Fragebogen zur Erfassung der Gruppenkohäsion in Freizeit- und Gesundheitssportgruppen (Fragebogen „Kohäsion im Team–Freizeit und Gesundheitssport”; KIT-FG) ins Deutsche zu übersetzen und zu validieren. In einer ersten Studie wurde die faktorielle Validität mittels konfirmatorischer Faktorenanalysen sowie die Reliabilität in präventiv ausgerichteten Sportgruppen geprüft. In einer zweiten Studie erfolgte neben der Überprüfung der Konstruktvalidität eine Replikation der faktoriellen Struktur des KIT-FG in rehabilitativ ausgerichteten Sportgruppen. Zusammenfassend liefern die Resultate der beiden durchgeführten Studien erste gute Hinweise für die Eignung des KIT-FG als ein valides und reliables Instrument für die Erfassung der Gruppenkohäsion in Gesundheitssportgruppen.


Validation of “Kohäsion im Team–Freizeit und Gesundheitssport” [Cohesion in teams–Leisure and health sport] (KIT-FG)

International research has shown that group cohesion is an important factor for the individual long-term involvement in health-oriented exercise groups. Despite the importance of cohesion, there is no validated instrument available for the assessment of group cohesion in the German language. The purpose of the present investigation was to validate the questionnaire “Kohäsion im Team–Freizeit und Gesundheitssport” [Cohesion in teams–Leisure and health sport] (KIT-FG). On the basis of a preliminary study with exercise groups in preventive settings, validity was assessed using confirmatory factorial and reliability analyses. A second study with exercise groups in rehabilitative settings was used to assess the construct validity and to replicate the factorial structure of the KIT-FG. In summary, the results of both investigations show the KIT-FG to be a valid and reliable instrument that can be used for the assessment of group cohesion in health-oriented exercise groups.
