Abstract
Among the victims of the imposed war, the veterans have a special place as lasting symbols of the discourse of sacrifice and martyrdom and one of the most important of them is the cultural concern of veterans and the challenges related to it. Therefore the aim of this research was to standardize the cultural humility questionnaire in Khorasan Razavi sports veterans. The survey research method is of the structural equation type, which was implemented in the field. The statistical population of this research was the veteran athletes of Razavi Khorasan (N=800), from whom 235 questionnaires were collected in the form of available sampling. In order to collect data, the cultural humility questionnaire made by Gonzalez et al. (2020) was used, which consisted of 15 questions. In order to analyze the data, descriptive indices and statistical tests of Cronbach's alpha coefficient, McDonald's omega coefficient, theta coefficient, exploratory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were used in SPSS, Lisrel and Stata statistical software. The results showed the reliability of the questionnaire (α=0.836, Ω=0.876, θ=0.902). Regarding construct validity and based on the amount of relationships and significance level, all the questions had a significant relationship with the components and were able to be a good predictor for their factor. The ratios of X2 to df are equal to 1.47 and (RMSEA) which is equal to 0.035, so the model has the necessary fit. Also, the indices of NFI=1.00, CFI=1.00, GFI=0.99, AGFI=0.97 and IFI=1.00 confirmed the fit of the model. Regarding the relationships of the components with the concept of cultural humility, the results showed that all five components could be a good predictor for the concept in question.
