Summary:To assess whether the Group Environment Questionnaire is applicable to athletes in co-acting sports such as track and field, the factor structure of the Group Environment Questionnaire among a heterogeneous sample of 199 co-acting team sport athleres was investigated. A confirmatory factor analysis did not support the hypothesized four-factor model. A subsequent exploratory facror analysis yielded two independent factors chat had no interpretable pattern of the four Group Environment Questionnaire factors within them. While this finding requires replication and confirmation, rhe four-factor model of the Group Environment Questionnaire does nor appear ro be as valid for co-acting sports as for interacting sports.
