Abstract

Objective: This study aimed to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish adaptation of the Multidimensional Sport Fan Well-Being Scale developed by Kumai et al. (2024). Materials and Methods: This methodological study was conducted with 363 adult sport fans in Türkiye (mean age=22.89±6.38 years). The original scale was translated using forward–backward translation procedures. Construct validity was evaluated using Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Sampling adequacy was assessed with the Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) test and Bartlett’s test of sphericity. Internal consistency was examined using Cronbach’s alpha coefficients. Results: The KMO value was 0.945 and Bartlett’s test was significant (χ²=7088.33, p<0.001). EFA revealed a three-factor structure explaining 79.05% of the total variance. While the eudaimonic and physical dimensions were largely preserved, hedonic and social dimensions merged under a single factor. CFA supported the three-factor model with acceptable fit indices (χ²/df=3.18, CFI=0.960, TLI=0.953, RMSEA=0.068). Internal consistency coefficients were high for the total scale (α=0.941) and for sub-dimensions (α range=0.920–0.946). Conclusion: The Turkish version of the Multidimensional Sport Fan Well-Being Scale is a valid and reliable instrument. Findings indicate that, within the Turkish cultural context, hedonic and social aspects of fan experience are closely intertwined. The scale can be used to assess the psychosocial dimensions of sport fandom in future research. Keywords: Sport Psychology, Well-Being, Psychometrics, Validity, Factor Analysis
