RESUMO

The present study deals with the moral attitudes of the athletes of the Invasion Collectives¿ Games (ICG): soccer, futsal, basketball and handball. One of the aims of the research is (a) to identify wich dimensions of attitude ¿ commitment, convention, gamesmanship or cheating ¿ represents the actions reportedly taken over by young athletes from ICG from 13 to 16 years. The others objectives are: (b) to translate and adapt to Portuguese language (Brasil) the Sports attitudes questionnaire (SAQ-23) from Gonçalves et al. (2006); (c) make the contend validity of QAE-23; (d) present the hierarchical order of the attitudinal dimensions, through the intrasex analysis; (e) realize a inter-sex comparative study. To this end, was applied the (SAQ-23). The answers to the items on QAE-23 were given as a Likert scale, bidirectional, graduated in five points, from ¿strongly disagree the statement¿ (1) to ¿strongly agree with the statement¿ (5). The research counted with the participation of a group of 265 athletes. To meet the second objective, two independent translations were done by professionals of the area (English/Portuguese and Portuguese/English) wich ensured the best translation and adaptation of QAE-23 for the Portuguese language (Brasil). Then were conducted the studies on pertinence and clarity of the items of QAE-23, from data obtained in the answers of judgesevaluators. The results of the Contend validity coefficients (CVC) for both, the pertinence as to the clarity of the items (between 0,7 and 0,8 on four items, and more than 0,8 in nineteen items), ensured the validation of content of QAE-23. After the accomplishment of these steps, the QAE-23 was submitted to the answers of 265 athletes to comply with the others objectives of the study. The attitudes more reportedly taken by athletes in general are part of the dimension commitment, followed respectively by the convention (2), gamemanship (3) and cheating (4). If we consider only the answers of male athletes, the results were as follows: commitment (23,23), followed by a couple of dimensions that are statistically indissociable, convention (19,89) and gamesmanship (19,11), and cheating (16,96). For female athletes appear: convention (23,21) and commitment (22,95), that are statistically indissociable, followed by gamesmanship (17,50) and cheating (9,85). The inter-sex comparison showed that the dimension cheating is most evident in males, whereas the dimension convention is most evident in females, as verification of the value of the averages in both groups. Through the results it was concluded that the athletes in this age group seek to engage for maximum performance during training and competitions. Furthermore, it highlight the latent form expressed by the competition among males, due to the emphasis on dimension cheating. As for the females athletes, sociability appears to be a crucial aspect, because of the emphasis given to the attitudes toward dimension convention. It is hoped that this study may contribute to an activity plan that give priority to the moral development of young athletes.
