Objective: The objective of this research is to develop scales for psychological distress in the competitive sports environment and indirect grumbling behaviors. It also aims to identify the level of psychological distress in the competitive sports environment and indirect grumbling behaviors among members of Iraqi Olympic federations. It also aims to identify the relationship, contribution, and impact of psychological distress in the competitive sports environment on indirect grumbling behaviors among members of Iraqi Olympic federations.
Research methodology: The nature of the research problem necessitated the adoption of a descriptive research approach using a correlational approach, and the research community represented members of the Iraqi Olympic Federations for the 2024/2025 sports season, comprising (26) federations, totaling (217) individuals. All of these individuals were selected using a comprehensive sample enumeration method, representing (100%) of the original community.
Results: The results showed that the arithmetic mean of the two psychological phenomena exceeded the hypothetical mean for each scale of these two phenomena under study. also showed that the increase in the phenomenon of psychological distress contributes to a correlation whose increase is directly proportional to its effect on the increase in indirect grumbling behavior among members of the Iraqi Olympic Federations from the application sample. This was confirmed which showed the good fit of this regression model with a significant fit quality
Conclusions: The scale of psychological distress in the competitive sports environment is suitable for measuring members of Iraqi Olympic federations and meets the scientific requirements for paper-and-pencil scales.
