Abstract
The purpose of this study was to verify the validity and reliability of the enjoyment factors of the Japanese version of SCQ-2, which measures the enjoyment of “playing sports” and “supporting sports” for university students, and to clarify the relationship between enjoyment and activity status / experience. For this purpose, the validity and reliability of the enjoyment factor, which is a subfactor of the Japanese version of SCQ-2, was examined in Study 1 for “playing sports” and in Study 2 for “supporting sports”. As a result of the research, in Study 1, the validity and reliability were confirmed by translating the word “happiness” in the original version into “enjoyment”. In Study 2, it was clarified that the validity of the 4-item 1-factor structure was higher than that of the 5-item 1-factor structure. In addition, in both “playing sports” and “supporting sports”, university students who are currently continuing their activities or have experience in activities highly evaluated enjoyment as compared with the non-execution and the inexperienced group. In the future, we can contribute to the development of the sports environment by conducting research from the two perspectives of “playing sports” and “supporting sports” using the enjoyment factors of Japanese version of SCQ-2.
