Sevgi Algısı Ölçeği: Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

Bu araştırmanın amacı bireylerin sevgi algılarını ölçen geçerli ve güve nilir bir ölçek geliştirmektir. Başlangıçta 42 maddeden oluşan taslak ölçeğe açımlayıcı faktör analizi yapılmış ve altı faktör altında 26 maddeden oluşan bir ölçek oluşmuştur. Bu 26 maddenin toplam varyansın %63.958’ini açıkladığı görülmüştür. Altı faktörlü yapıda yer alan faktörler isimlerinin: 1) Sevgi ve İşlevi, 2) Sevgi ve Davranışlar, 3) Sevgi ve Değerler, 4) Sevgi ve Kaynağı, 5) Sevgi ve Kişisel Özellikler ile 6) Sevgi ve Farklılıklar olarak isimlendirilmesinin uygun olduğuna karar verilmiştir. Ölçeğin faktör yapısının doğrulanması amacıyla yapılan DFA sonucu, X2/df değerinin 2.53, RMSEA değerinin 0.067, NFI değerinin 0.93, CFI değerinin 0.95, GFI değerinin 0.86 ve AGFI değerinin 0.83 olduğu belirlenmiş ve elde edilen bu değerlerin yapının doğrulanması için yeterli olduğu görülmüştür. Güvenirlik çalışmasında ölçeğin tümüne ait Cron bach's Alpha değeri 0.88 olarak bulunmuş, madde toplam korelasyon değerleri incelendiğinde 0.2’nin altında herhangi bir madde yer almadığı görülmüştür. Test tekrar test güvenirliğinde ise iki test arası korelasyon değeri 0.78 olarak bulunmuştur. Ölçeğin geçerlik ve güvenirlik sonuçları incelendiğinde ölçeğin bireylerin sevgi algılarını ölçebilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu düşünülmektedir.

Compassionate Love Scale: Validity and Reliability Study

In this research, it is aimed to develop a valid and reliable scale that measures the compassionate love perceptions of individuals. After exploratory factor analysis, a scale consisting of 26 items was formed under six factors. It was found that these 26 items explained 63.958% of the total variance. The factors’ names are: 1) Compassionate Love and its Function, 2) Compassionate Love and Behaviors, 3) Compassionate Love and Values, 4) Compassionate Love and Its Source, 5) Compassionate Love and Personal Traits, and 6) Compassionate Love and Differences. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis, it was determined that the X2/df value was 2.53, the RMSEA value was 0.067, the NFI value was 0.93, the CFI value was 0.95, the GFI value was 0.86, and the AGFI value was 0.83. In the reliability study, the Cronbach’s Alpha value of the whole scale was found to be 0.88. In the test-retest reliability, the correlation value between the two tests was found to be 0.78. When all the results of the validity and reliability studies of the scale are examined, it is thought that the scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can measure the compassionate love perceptions of individuals.
