Turkish Adaptation of the Multidimensional Sport Fan Well-Being Scale: Validity and Reliability Study

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
