In recent years, the concern over mental toughness has risen. However, there has been little study done concerning the development of a mental toughness scale specifically for wrestling. Therefore, the present study was undertaken in order to develop a mental toughness scale specifically for wrestling. In Study 1, through interviews and previous studies, a questionnaire with 6 categories and 35 items was developed. In Study 2, using factor analysis, 4 factors were extracted from the questionnaire. Factor extraction was attempted with Varimax rotation using the Maximum likelihood method. The factors were named respectively as “Growth Mindset”, “Wrestling Spirit”, “Challenger Spirit”, and “Motivation”. However, problems were found in the sample size and validity. These problems will be examined in the future.

摘要

In recent years, the concern over mental toughness has risen. However, there has been little study done concerning the development of a mental toughness scale specifically for wrestling. Therefore, the present study was undertaken in order to develop a mental toughness scale specifically for wrestling. In Study 1, through interviews and previous studies, a questionnaire with 6 categories and 35 items was developed. In Study 2, using factor analysis, 4 factors were extracted from the questionnaire. Factor extraction was attempted with Varimax rotation using the Maximum likelihood method. The factors were named respectively as “Growth Mindset”, “Wrestling Spirit”, “Challenger Spirit”, and “Motivation”. However, problems were found in the sample size and validity. These problems will be examined in the future.
