摘要：The present study attempted to standardize a Collective Cohesion Questionnaire based on Carron’s model, considering issues covered in previous research such as low relevance, lack of survey subjects, the small number of target events and the need to consider the cultural background of Japan. In the first survey, a questionnaire consisting of a total of 40 items was created, taking into account the issues that had been covered previously. A total of 1,370 high school and university club athletes representing 26 sports were surveyed. Exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis of the data obtained from 1,131 of the subjects confirmed the structure of 4 factors and 13 items. In the subsequent second survey, a total of 411 high school and university athletes from 16 sports were retested using the 13 items extracted in the first survey. At that time, the Sport Psychological Test for Teams was also administered as an external standard. As a result, confirmatory factor analysis of 256 subjects confirmed a 4 factor structure. Although the internal consistency of the scale and the validity of the criteria were also confirmed, the stability of the scale in the retest method was only moderately correlated with all 4 factors. In the third survey, we include a total of 386 high school and university athletes with appropriate modifications to the methods, and confirmed the stability of the scale in the retest method. Finally, a questionnaire to measure group cohesiveness in sports was completed. This has the 4 factor structure proposed by Carron and can guarantee reliability and validity.
