Data were collected and analyzed for reliability and validity using the test-retest method, reliability, correlation analysis and confirmatory factor analyses. Statistical analysis was performed with SPSS version 22.0.0 the IBM AMOS. The confirmatory factor analyses showed good adjustments for coping models of task-oriented (chi-square 359.35, CFI: 0.92; TLI: 0.91; GFI: 0.93; RMSEA: 0.040 and p value < 0.001), and the coping oriented emotion (chi-square 215.45, CFI: 0.93; TLI: 0.91; GFI, 0.94; RMSEA: 0.054 and p < 0.001). In conclusion, ISCCS was translated and validated in various languages, including French, English, Spanish, and Turkish… Arabic version demonstrated good psychometric properties adjustments and can be used in other surveys in the area of sports competition.

Psicothema, 2011
Sports Psychology researchers have long tried to analyse the personality profi le of athletes in order to accurately predict their future success, injury vulnerability or stress tolerance. The Athletic Coping Skills Inventory-28 (ACSI-28) by Smith, Schutz, is one of the tests developed for this purpose. This test has been the object of a number of studies aimed at assessing its psychometric characteristics, its discriminative and predictive capability of future sports performance, and its contribution to an accurate prediction of athletes' risk of injury . the cross-cultural validity of the factorial model and items in the ACSI-28 has received limited empirical attention. At present, there is no empirically-supported Spanish version of the scale. The development of such a scale would enable research with Spanish-speaking athletes, who constitute a signifi cant portion of the world's athletes.
