Abstract

This study aimed to evaluate validity and reliability evidence of the Turkish version of the Athlete Burnout Questionnaire (ABQ). The ABQ includes three 5-item subscales assessing emotional/physical exhaustion, reduced sense of accomplishment and sport devaluation. Participants were 429 athletes ranging from 13 to 29 years of age (M age =17.68, SD=3.81). Of the sample, 178 were female (M age =16.92, SD=3.61) and 251 were male (M age =23.23, SD=3.92). A separate sample of 208 athletes (35.1% basketball; 32.2% volleyball; 20.4% swimming; 12.3% tennis) completed the questionnaire a second time between 13 and 16 days after the initial application to evaluate test-retest reliability. Both Cronbach's Alpha coefficients and composite reliability values supported the scale’s internal consistency. Overall, validity and reliability evidence was similar to findings stemming from the original ABQ. These findings suggest that scores derived from Turkish version of the ABQ provide a suitable tool for assessing athlete burnout.
