The factorial validity of the TAIS attentional-style subscales

Article Abstract:

The factorial validity of the Test for Attentional and Interpersonal Style (TAIS) was tested. This psychometric instrument is widely applied in sports to evaluate an athlete's attentional style and its effect on performance. Statistical analysis indicated poor factorial validity of the test subscales and furthermore, it lacked discriminant validity in testing facets of attentional styles. The test also did not reliably assess the sports dimension and actual ability of attentional styles. A broader scope of the test was recommended to improve its validity in sports medicine.
