ÖZET
 Amaç: Çalışmada, ''Antrenör Kaynaklı Özerklik Desteği'' ile ''Aile Kaynaklı Özerklik Desteği'' ölçeklerinin Türkçe formlarının psikometrik özelliklerinin Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi (DFA) ile incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gereç ve Yöntemler: ''Antrenör Kaynaklı Özerklik Desteği'' ile ''Aile Kaynaklı Özerklik Desteği'' ölçekleri 7'li Likert tipinde, 12 madde ve tek boyuttan oluşmaktadır. ''Antrenör Kaynaklı Özerklik Desteği Ölçeği''nin psikometrik özellikleri 145 erkek ve 63 kız toplam 208 (Xyaş=14,51±2,83), ''Aile Kaynaklı Özerklik Desteği Ölçeği''nin ise 164 erkek ve 70 kız toplam 234 (Xyaş=14,87±1,92) sporcu üzerinde test edilmiştir. Ölçeklerin yapı geçerlikleri DFA ile sınamıştır. Ölçeklerin yakınsak geçerlikleri Birleşik Güvenirlik [Composite Reliability (CR)] ve Ortalama Açıklanan Varyans [Average Variance Extracted (AVE)] değerleri hesaplanarak test edilmiştir. Cronbach alfa iç tutarlık ve CR katsayısı güvenirliğin test edilmesi için hesaplanmıştır. Bulgular: DFA sonuçları her iki ölçeğin de orijinal yapısını desteklemiştir (Antrenör; x2 /df=3,67, Standartlaştırılmış Hata Kareleri Ortalamasının Karekökü [Standardized Root Mean Square Residual (SRMR)]=0,04, Normlu Uyum Indeksi [Normed Fit Index (NFI)]=0,90, Fazlalık Uyum İndeksi [Incremental Fit Index (IFI)]=0,91, Karşılaştırmalı Uyum İndeksi [Comparative Fit Index (CFI)]=0,91, Aile; x2 /df=3,71, SRMR=0,03, NFI=0,91, IFI=0,95, CFI=0,95). AVE ve CR değerleri ölçeklerin yakınsak geçerliğini destekler niteliktedir. ''Antrenör Kaynaklı Özerklik Desteği Ölçeği''ne ait Cronbach alfa ve CR değerleri 0,93 olarak bulunmuştur. ''Aile Kaynaklı Özerklik Desteği Ölçeğinden elde edilen Cronbach alfa ve CR değerleri 0,96 olarak bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Elde edilen bulgular ile 12-18 yaş arası sporcuların antrenör ve aileden algıladığı özerklik desteğinin değerlendirilmesi amacı ile çalışmada psikometrik özellikleri test edilen ölçeklerin güvenilir ve geçerli bir araç olduğu söylenebilir.

ABSTRACT
 Objective: The aim of this study was to investigate the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of ''Perceived Autonomy Support Scale-Coaches Form'' and ''Perceived Autonomy Support Scale - Parent Form'' scales by Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Material and Methods: Both scales are 7-point Likert type, 12 items, and unidimensional. The psychometric proporties of ''Perceived Autonomy Support Scale-Coaches Form'' and ''Perceived Autonomy Support ScaleParent Form'' were tested on 145 boys and 63 girls, a total of 208 participants (Mage=14.51±2.83) and 70 girls and 164 boys, totally 234 (Mage=14.87±1.92) participants, respectively. The CFA was used to test the construct validity. The convergent validity of both scales were tested by calculated Average Variance Extracted (AVE) and Composite Reliability (CR) values. In addition, to test reliability, Cronbach's Alpha and CR were calculated. Results: CFA results supported original model of both scale (Coaches; x2 /df=3.67, SRMR=0.04, normed fit index (NFI)=0.90, IFI=0.91, comparative fit index=0.91, Parent; x2 /df=3.71, SRMR=0.03, NFI=0.91, IFI=0.95, CFI=0.95). In addition, AVE and CR values supported the convergent validity of the scales. For ''Perceived Autonomy Support Scale-Coaches Form'' the Cronbach's Alpha internal consistency and CR coefficients was founded 0.93. For ''Perceived Autonomy Support Scale - Parent Form'' the Cronbach's Alpha internal consistency and CR coefficients was founded 0.96. Conclusion: The findings obtained reveal that the scales whose psychometric properties were tested in the study with the aim of evaluating the autonomy support perceived by athletes aged 12-18 years from coaches and family are reliable and valid tools.
