ABSTRACT: This study validated a Tunisian version of the longue version of the Role
and Ambiguity Scales. A sample of 463 volunteer athletes (17.11 ± 2.83
years) participated in this research to establish the psychometric properties
of the RAS-T. Three competing models for the organization of the role ambiguity
dimensions were examined. A confirmatory factor analysis supports the factor
structure of the original version. Correlations between the role ambiguity
scale with task cohesion provided some indication of predictive validity.
Theoretical and cultural implications were advanced, and results supported a
hierarchical organization of role ambiguity on four correlated first-order
factor structure in Tunisian culture.
