Abstract
Talent identification is a critical component of long-term athlete development. However, in practice, the selection of youth sepak takraw athletes is often based on coaches’ subjective judgments rather than standardized scientific assessment tools. This study represents Phase 1 of an instrument development study, aiming to develop an assessment instrument for identifying talent indicators in male youth sepak takraw athletes and to examine initial validity evidence based on test content using the Content Validity Index (CVI). The indicators were developed through a synthesis of the literature and organized according to a theoretical conceptual framework. A total of 15 indicators were retained, covering four domains: physical attributes, physical fitness, sport-specific skills, and psychological characteristics. Five experts evaluated the relevance of each indicator using a four-point rating scale. The evaluation results were analyzed using the Item-Level Content Validity Index (I-CVI), Scale-Level Content Validity Index (S-CVI/Ave), Scale-Level Content Validity Index based on Universal Agreement (S-CVI/UA), Probability of Chance Agreement (Pc), and *Modified Kappa (k)* The results indicated that all indicators achieved an I-CVI of 1.00, while both S-CVI/Ave and S-CVI/UA were 1.00. The Pc value was 0.031, and the modified kappa coefficient was 1.00, exceeding the recommended criteria. These findings indicate that expert agreement was unlikely to have occurred by chance and that the instrument demonstrates validity evidence based on test content. this study represents only the initial stage of instrument development and involved a limited number of experts. Therefore, the findings should be interpreted as preliminary validity evidence, and further studies are required to examine additional psychometric properties, including reliability, internal structure, and relationships with external variables.
