PHENOMENOLOGICAL STUDY: THE INFLUENCE OF PROFESSIONAL ATHLETES’ UNETHICAL BEHAVIOR ON AMATEUR ATHLETES

The data analysis for this qualitative phenomenological study revealed 28 emergent themes. To substantiate the validity and reliability of the 28 themes kappa coefficientsreliability of the 28 themes kappa coefficients were evaluated using the guideline outlined by Landis and Koch (1977), where the strength of the kappa coefficients equals <0.00 (less than chance), 0.00 (no chance), 0.01‐0.20 (slight), ), ( ), ( g ),0.21‐0.40 (fair), 0.41‐0.60 (moderate), 0.61‐0.80 (substantial), and 0.81‐1.00 (almost perfect) agreement.


15

Of the 28 themes, two had less than no agreement, three had no agreement, two had slight agreement, one had fair agreement, six had moderate agreement, seven had g ,substantial agreement, and seven had almost perfect agreement. The data analysis represents the perceptions and lived‐experiences of the participants. The following thematic conclusions are the result of one‐on‐one communication between the researcher and the contributor.
