Supporting coach-led dual career guidance for student-athletes: validation of the web-based Japanese version of the dual career competency questionnaire for athletes
The DCCQ-AJ is a psychometrically sound web-based instrument for assessing dual-career competencies among Japanese student-athletes. Its scalability and structural equivalence to the original DCCQ-A render it suitable for cross-cultural comparative studies and longitudinal monitoring. This tool has practical utility for researchers and institutions aimed at evaluating and enhancing dual-career support frameworks in higher education and elite sports contexts.
