Öznel sıkıntılar, kendini açma, kendini gizleme, üniversite öğrencileri, geçerlik, güvenirlik.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Kahn ve Hessling tarafından geliştirilen Öznel Sıkıntıları Açma Ölçeğini (ÖSAÖ) Türkçe'ye uyarlayarak geçerlik ve güvenirliğini incelemektir. Araştırma verileri, Mersin Üniversitesinin çeşitli fakültelerinde öğrenim gören 311 (195 kadın, 116 erkek) üniversite öğrencisinden elde edilmiştir. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliği, doğrulayıcı faktör analizi yöntemi ile sınanmıştır. Faktör analizi sonuçları ölçeğin, "kendini açma" ve "kendini gizleme" olarak betimlenen iki uçlu (bipolar) ve tek faktörlü bir yapıya sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Güvenirlik çalışmaları kapsamında ÖSAÖ için hesaplanan Cronbach alfa iç tutarlık katsayısı .91 olarak belirlenmiştir. Ölçeğin üç hafta ara ile uygulanması sonucu elde edilen test-tekrar test güvenirliği ise .85'tir. Sonuç olarak, yapılan geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmaları doğrultusunda tek faktörlü bu ölçeğin üniversite öğrencilerinde kullanılabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu belirlenmiştir

Distress disclosure, self disclosure, self concealment, university students, validity, reliability.

The purpose of the present study is to adapt the Distress Disclosure Index (DDI) which was originally developed by Kahn and Hessling to Turkish and examine the validity and reliability of the scale. The data was collected from 311 (195 female, 116 male) undergraduate students enrolled at Mersin University. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to determine the construct validity of the scale. Results of the study revealed a unidimensional construct based on a bipolar spectrum of “self-disclosure” and “self-concealment”. The results also indicated that internal consistency for the 12-item DDI as estimated by Cronbach’s alpha was .91 and test-retest (three weeks interval) correlation coefficient was .85. As a result, all the findings suggested that the DDI can be used as a valid and reliable instrument for measuring the tendencies of university students to conceal or disclose their personal distress
