Abstract
The purpose of this research was determining the validity, reliability and normalization of the Persian version of Sport Anxiety scale-2 in athletic children. For this purpose, 400 boys and girls were chosen by random sampling. At first data was confirmed with use of translation- retranslation, face validity and translation accuracy methods. For scale construct validity, confirmatory factor analysis and for scale's internal constancy and also infraclass correlations coefficient temporal stability, Cranach alpha coefficient was used. The results of research showed that Persian version of Sport Anxiety scale-2 in children has acceptable validity and reliability among athletic Iranian children and is able to be used as a valid and reliable instrument by trainers, and researchers.
