Abstract
To develop the Medford Player-Coach Interaction Inventory for assessing positive interaction between players and coaches 23 adjectives of 81 were selected. Subjects were members of 9 women's teams and their coaches. To assess reliability subjects were 5 women's teams and their coaches. Data were collected through 3 forms of the inventory—player's form, coach's form, and validity form. Significant correlations were obtained among the adjectives, with few exceptions. Coefficients for the total score between Day 1 and Day 2 indicated stable scores (r = .87). Validity was studied by subjects rating each adjective on a 5-point scale as to its predictive value; each adjective received a rating above the mean of 3.0 on a 5-point scale.
