The study presents international research findings regarding the standardisation of a Mental Skills Scale with a sample of university students (N=420) from South Africa (n=211) and the United Kingdom (n=209) respectively. Although further international and national standardisation in both English and other languages is recommended, factor and reliability analyses indicated satisfactory validity and reliability of the current English version of the scale.enSouthern African Alliance for Sport Science, Physical Education and RecreationStandardisationMental Skills QuestionnaireSouth Africa (SA)United Kingdom (UK)Sport and exercise psychologyArticle
