The sports inventory for pain: empirical and confirmatory factorial validity. ID - 20093106412 Academic Article

abstract

• The Sports Inventory for Pain (SIP) was developed to measure how athletes respond to pain resulting from injury or rehabilitative efforts. This research was designed to provide a shorter, version of the SIP and confirm factorial and empirical validity of the SIP. The SIP together with 18 additional items was administered to 221 undergraduate students. Principal components factor analysis yielded a 15-item inventory with three factors: Coping by Direct Action (COP), Catastrophizing (CAT), and Somatic Awareness (SOM). A Personal Coping Resources (PCR) composite (COP-CAT) provides an overall index of ability to deal with pain. Confirmatory factor analyses (n=387), MANOVAs and Multiple Regression Analyses (n=780) confirmed the factorial and empirical validity of the revised SIP.
