  • Title: Confirmatory factor analysis of the Brunel Mood Scale for use with water-skiing competition.
    Author: Fazackerley R, Lane AM, Mahoney C.
    Journal: Percept Mot Skills; 2003 Oct; 97(2):657-61. PubMed ID: 14620257.
    Abstract:
    The purpose of the present study was to investigate the factorial validity of the Brunel Mood Scale, which measures anger, confusion, depression, fatigue, tension, and vigor, for water-skiers. Participants were 345 water-skiers (age range 16 to 39 years, men: n=311, women: n=34) who completed the scale approximately 1 hour before a water-skiing competition. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated support for the validity of the 6-factor model, with a Comparative Fit Index of .90 and Root Mean Squared Error of Approximation of .07. Internal consistency coefficients were above the .70 criterion. It is suggested that the Brunel Mood Scale shows factorial validity for use with water-skiers and that researchers should continue to assess validation of the Brunel Mood Scale with other measures and with specific appropriate samples.
