N2 - The Collective Efficacy Questionnaire for Sports (CEQS; Short, Sullivan,& Feltz, 2005) is a domain-specific instrument for the assessment ofcollective efficacy across interdependent team sports. This study evaluated thepsychometric properties of an Italian version of the CEQS (CEQS-Ita) with 306 athletes.The instrument showed a good level of internal consistency reliability. Constructvalidity was demonstrated by examining the factor structure, and convergent anddiscriminant properties of the instrument. Confirmatory Factor Analyses suggesteda model with four sub-dimensions: ability, determination, preparation, andunity. Convergent properties of the instrument were demonstrated through positivecorrelations with all four components of an Italian version of the GroupEnvironment Questionnaire (GEQ; Andreaggi, Robazza, & Bortoli, 2000). Discriminantvalidity was evidenced by the absence of correlation with cognitive or somaticanxiety measured through an Italian version of the Revised Competitive StateAnxiety Inventory-2 (Martinengo, Bobbio, & Marino, 2012).© 2019, International Society of Sport Psychology.
