Abstract
The objectives of this research were: 1. to develop a self-regulation assessment in playing golf, of the 12-15 year old youth golfer, 2. to study the self-regulatory factors affecting the ability in playing golf of the 12-15 year old youth golfer. The populations were 120 youth golfer whose age were between 12-15 years old, who were the members of the Golf Association of Thailand under the Royal Patronage. The research instrument was a self-regulation assessment questionnaire for playing golf, created by the researcher. The questionnaire was a 5 scale rating and comprised 50 items. The data were analyzed by mean, standard deviation, and the confirmatory factor analysis Pearson's correlation coefficient and stepwise multiple regression analysis.
The findings revealed that;
- The youth golfers had self-regulation assessment at a moderate level, both in overall and individual aspect. It was found that the self-directed behaviors observation was highest rated followed by observation, and practice planning, respectively.
- The created self-regulation assessment for youth golfer possessed the total reliability of .96, while the reliability in each aspect, the practice planning, observation and behavior were .89, .92 and .94 respectively. The power of the discrimination was between .21 and .82.
- The self-regulatory component model for the youth golfer was consistent with the empirical data where
2= 1134.252, df = 1069, p = .081,
- The overall self-regulation in practice planning, observation and continual behavior was positively correlated with the ability of the youth golfer with statistical significance at the .01 level with the correlation coefficient equal to .348, .324, .322 and .352 respectively.
5. The results of stepwise analysis showed that factors those affect the ability of the youth golfer were continual behavior (B = 8.25, = 0.35) which was able to predict the sports ability at 12 percent (R2 = 0.12)
