Abstract

The aim of the present study was to: a) present a conceptual framework to further the understanding of positional competition (i.e., the competition for playing time), and b) present the development and validation process of the Positional Competition in Team Sports Questionnaire (PCTSQ). A conceptual framework representing the inputs, mediators, and outputs of positional competition is proposed. The development of the PCTSQ was conducted over four stages (i.e., item generation, preliminary item analysis, scale refinement using CFA and ESEM, estimation of validity and reliability). The PCTSQ is a novel scale to assess positional competition for playing time in team sport.
