Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were performed to validate the scales. Three measurement models and an overall measurement model were generated and tested in compliance with a stringent purification process for the models. The results of the structural modeling revealed that out of 15 hypotheses tested 12 were supported whereas the remaining 3 were rejected. The results provide evidence that social support from parents, coach, friends and the government directly contribute towards overall social support which in turn, has significant relationships self-confidence, task orientation and ego orientation. 2012-06 Thesis https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/16259/ https://ir.uitm.edu.my/id/eprint/16259/1/TM_CHE%20NADIA%20CHE%20SAMSUDIN%20SR%2012_5.pdf text en public mphil masters Universiti Teknologi Mara Faculty of Sport Science and Recreation
