摘要：The study aimed to translate of the Sport Anxiety Scale (SAS-2) into Urdu language. In the first phase, scale was translated into Urdu by using forward and backward translation. In the second phase, validation was carried out. Urdu translated version of the scale was completed by 200 sports students (M=21.52 years, SD=1.58). Results revealed that Urdu translated scale was conceptually equivalent to the original English scale. In third phase, confirmatory factor analysis was carried out on a sample of 200athletes from a public university. Confirmatory factor analysis replicated three factor structures. Analysis revealed good model fit with chi square 208.8(df = 87, p>.05), CFI =.88, GFI = .88, and RMSEA = .08. The model being finalized had three factors with 5 items in each subscale i.e., Somatic, Concentration Disruption, and Worry. The item loading of factors ranged from .44 to.81. Alpha reliability of the sub-scales of Urdu translated version of SAS-2 was high (somatic=0.8, worry=0.8, concentration disruption=0.8). Positive correlation of Sport Anxiety Scale with Athlete Burnout Scale and negative correlation with Extraversion sub scale of Big Five Inventory also indicated the convergent and divergent validity of the scale respectively.
