Abstract EN

The research significance lies in the researchers` approaching the concept of the athlete’s behavioral trend and studying it in all aspects.

It is the first Iraqi study (as far as researchers know) to study this concept in the sports field.As for the research problem, it lies in the lack of a measuring tool that measures this concept among athletes and reveals it .The research aims to construct a measure of behavioral attitudes of athletes, based on the Fox theory, among players of team games.The descriptive approach was used, and the researchers based the procedures for constructing the scale through what the researchers obtained from a description of the behavioral trends presented by (Fox & Timmerman, 2000).

The areas of the scale were identified by presenting a questionnaire to the experts and specialists.

A definition of each field was developed and the areas of the scale became five areas.

And the five-point scale was used .

Based on the opinion of the experts, (53) items were retained, distributed over the five scale fields, and the researchers conducted an exploratory experiment.

After that, the scale was applied to the basic experiment sample (constructing sample) of (135) players, who were randomly selected.

The researchers used two statistical methods to analyze the items, namely, the method of extreme groups and the method of internal consistency.

In light of the results of the two methods, the items were accepted for which the discriminatory force had a significant significance.

By applying this procedure to all the items, some items were deleted due to their lack of moral significance, and (53) were retained.

As for the validity, it was verified in two types: the veracity of the content and the validity of the structure.

As for the reliability, it was verified in two ways: the half-segmentation and Kronbach's Alpha.

The Statistical Package for Social Sciences (SPSS) was used to extract the results of the research.
