Subjects (N = 60) were badminton athletes and PBSI coaches in Kabupaten Pidie Aceh Province. The process included two stages: (1) collection of item pool and (2) screening of item pool with Q-sort method. The measurement was then tested on 172 athletes from PBSI Kabupaten Pidie Aceh Province. Data was analyzed through tests for validity, reliability, and factor analysis.
