Use of a sport socialization inventory with cerebral palsied youth.
The validity and reliability of the 1978 Sport Interest Inventory of Greendorfer and Lewko were examined to evaluate its appropriateness for youth with cerebral palsy, ages 13 to 21 years. Test-retest data from 35 subjects indicated a reliability coefficient of .92. Data from 112 subjects were subjected to factor analysis to examine construct validity. This analysis indicated that the factor structure was similar to that reported for able-bodied youth, except for the items pertaining to friends and opportunity set.
