Questionnaire-Description

The Sport Emotion Questionnaire (SEQ-22) is a tool designed to assess the emotions experienced by athletes during and after sports activities and competitions. It consists of 22 questions that cover various emotional states such as excitement, fear, anxiety, and satisfaction. The SEQ-22 helps athletes and coaches better understand emotional responses and adjust strategies to enhance performance and well-being.

Data Analysis and Usage

Data Analysis: Data analysis from the SEQ-22 involves evaluating participants’ responses to each question. Responses are typically rated on a Likert scale, where participants rate the intensity or frequency of the emotions they experience.
Data Collection: Athletes complete the SEQ-22 before, during, and after sports activities or competitions.
Score Calculation: Responses are scored and aggregated to produce scores for various emotional states.
Score Analysis: Analysis can include comparing emotional states before, during, and after the sports activity. It can also identify emotional patterns related to performance and develop intervention strategies to improve athletes’ psychological states.
Analysis includes assessing the scale’s reliability (e.g., internal consistency using Cronbach’s alpha) and validity (e.g., comparisons with other emotion scales or psychological measures).

Purpose

The primary goal of the SEQ-22 is to record and analyze athletes’ emotions during and after sports activities. The tool aims to understand the emotional states of athletes and identify emotional patterns that may affect their performance and well-being. Additionally, it assists in developing strategies for better emotion management and enhancing athletic performance.

Calibration

The calibration of the SEQ-22 involves validating the scale through assessments of reliability and validity:
Internal Consistency: Checked using Cronbach’s alpha to ensure that the questionnaire items are consistent and measure the intended emotional states.
Validity: Includes comparisons with other emotion scales and psychological measures, as well as evaluations of the scale’s clinical utility.
