تصميم مقياس اتجاهات الإناث نحو بناء الأجسام

يهدف البحث الحالي إلى تصميم مقياس اتجاهات الإناث نحو رياضة بناء الأجسام، على شكل استبيان بطريقة مقياس ليكرت الخماسي.

المنهجية: يتبع البحث المنهج الوصفي، حيث حُددت ثلاثة أبعاد للاستبيان، هي مكونات الاتجاه النفس-اجتماعي (معرفي، عاطفي، سلوكي)، وتم تقسيم البعد المعرفي إلى خمسة محاور (صحي، جمالي، ثقافي، نفسي، اللياقة البدنية)، ثم تم اقتراح عبارات الاستبيان وهي 29 عبارة، وتحكيمها من الخبراء، وتطبيقها على عينة عشوائية من طالبات كلية التربية الرياضية مكونة من 50 طالبة، لجمع النتائج وإجراء الاختبارات الإحصائية اللازمة، وتم التأكد من الثبات عن طريق معامل ألفا كرونباخ، والصدق بطريقتي الاتساق الداخلي والارتباط بنتائج بمقياس آخر يقيس نفس الظاهرة (مقياس مراحل التغيير).

النتائج: تلخصت نتائج الدراسة بحذف أربع عبارات من العبارات المُقترحة، ليصبح المقياس مُكوناً من 25 عبارة موزعة على ثلاثة أبعاد (معرفي، عاطفي، سلوكي)، والبعد المعرفي أصبح مُقسماً إلى أربعة محاور (صحي، جمالي، نفسي، اللياقة البدنية).
