Abstract

The reliability of the scales utilized in research are crucial elements that contribute to the generation of valuable outcomes. This study aimed to develop a practical and reliable measure of the Talent Development Environmental Questionnaire (TDEQ) by adapting three modules, totaling 59 items. Utilizing a sample size of 30 and employing the test-retest method, the study found Pearson correlation results for seven factors: Long-Term Development Focus (LTDF), Quality Preparation (QP), Communication Skills (CO), Understanding Athletes (UA), Supporting Network (SN), Challenges and Supporting Environment (CSE), and Long-Term Developmental Fundamental Understanding (LTDFU). Internal consistency estimates, including Cronbach's alpha scores, ranged from 0.627 to 0.900. The mean Cronbach's alpha was 0.75, with individual factor scores of 0.900, 0.712, 0.781, 0.678, 0.832, 0.631, and 0.627, respectively. These findings underscore the significance of factors such as LTDF, QP, CO, UA, SN, CSE, and LTDFU in track and field athletes' overall development, reaffirming the high reliability of all dimensions of the TDEQ.
