Sažetak
To better understand behavior in achievement contexts, researchers since the late 1970s have been interested in finding out the reasons attributed to outcomes (Weiner, 1985). In achievement domains such as sport, the reasons people give are called attributions. To investigate attributions, the research community needs a survey instrument. The Revised Causal Dimension Scale (CDS-II) (McAuley, Duncan and Russell, 1992) is the dominant attribution questionnaire though never validated in the Croatian language. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to validate a Croatian version of the CDS-II. To achieve our purpose, 384 (232 males and 152 females) kinesiology students completed the translated CDS-II twice: once while remembering their most successful competition performance, and once while remembering their least successful one. To test the latent structure of the Croatian CDS-II, we used confirmatory factor analysis while testing two alternative models (orthogonal solution and model with correlated latent variables). Additionally, we examined the CDS-II invariance when attributing the most and the least successful performance in sport using longitudinal confirmatory factor analysis. Last, we tested reliability of the scale using Cronbach alpha coefficients. A model with correlated latent variables showed a statistically significant improved fit in both situations. In both situations, all items loaded highly with their hypothesized latent variables. Furthermore, CDS-II showed configural, metric and scalar invariance, and partial strict invariance since one item’s residuals differed significantly from the others. Cronbach alpha coefficients were adequate across both situations. In summary, we confirmed that the Croatian version of the CDS- II has adequate psychometric
