摘要：The main aim of this study is to obtain the contract validity and reliability of social support assessment instrument to identify football talent among Malaysian male players aged 13 to 14 years old. Three sub attributes are used to measure the attributes of social support, which are family, teammates and coaches. A total of 120 male footballers aged 13 to 14 who underwent training under the Malaysia National Football Development Program were selected as study samples. Pearson correlation analysis were used to obtain validity of field experts. Cronbach’s alpha analysis were used to obtain reliability coefficient of the assessment instrument on social support. Factor analysis was used to obtain the construct validity of the questionnaire items. Findings of the study show that the construct validity of 35 questionnaire items of overall 60 items (r = .50), field expert validity (r = .96), reliability total value (? = .92) and the internal consistency coefficient for each sub attributes are family (? = .81), teammates (? = .85) and coaches (? = .83). Based on the findings, social support assessment instrument showed highly validity, reliability and acceptable to measure the extent to which a football young player believes that his need for supports, information and feedbacks are fulfilled by the family, teammates and coaches.
