Running head: MILITARY TRAINING MENTAL TOUGHNESS INVENTORY
ثبت نشده
چکیده
24 Three studies were conducted in order to develop and validate a mental toughness instrument 25 for use in military training environments. Study 1 (n = 435) focused on item generation and 26 testing the structural integrity of the Military Training Mental Toughness Inventory 27 (MTMTI). The measure assessed ability to maintain optimal performance under pressure 28 from a range of different stressors experienced by recruits during infantry basic training. 29 Study 2 (n = 104) examined the concurrent validity, predictive validity, and test-retest 30 reliability of the measure. Study 3 (n = 106) confirmed the predictive validity of the measure 31 with a sample of more specialized infantry recruits. Overall, the military training mental 32 toughness inventory demonstrated sound psychometric properties and structural validity. 33 Furthermore, it was found to possess good test-retest reliability, concurrent validity, and 34 predicted performance in two different training contexts with two separate samples. 35
