Predicting pain response in athletes: development and assessment of the Sports Inventory for Pain

Article Abstract:

An athlete's response to pain was evaluated using a newly-developed psychometric scale. The Sports Inventory for Pain (SIP) was tested for reliability in predicting an athlete's attitudes toward injury-related pain. Injured high school and college athletes were surveyed using the psychometric instrument. Results indicated that the SIP is a reliable instrument for assessing an athlete's pain-coping mechanisms and its subsequent effect in performance. It may also aid in developing strategies for the rehabilitation of an injured athlete.

Results of a study indicate that the Psychological Skills Inventory for Sports (PSIS R-5) has several inadequacies. Five of the six subtests have low reliability and the factor structure is poorly planned. these psychometric shortcomings need to be rectified before PSIS R-5 can be used to study sport psychology.
