Kişilerarası Yetkinlik Ölçeği-Kısa Formu: Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışmaları

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Buhrmester, Furman, Wittenberg ve Reis tarafından geliştirilen Kişilerarası Yetkinlik Ölçeği’ni (KYÖ) Türkçe’ye uyarlayarak geçerlik ve güvenirliğini incelemektir. Araştırmanın verileri, Mersin Üniversitesi’nin çeşitli fakültelerinde öğrenim gören 604 (354 kadın, 250 erkek) üniversite öğrencisinden elde edilmiştir. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliğini sınamak üzere açıklayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Faktör analizi sonuçları ölçeğin, “ilişki başlatma”, “duygusal destek”, “etki bırakma”, “kendini açma” ve “çatışma yönetimi” olarak adlandırılan beş faktörden oluştuğunu göstermiştir. Ölçeğin iç tutarlığına ilişkin bulgulara göre, ölçekte yer alan faktörlerin Cronbach Alfa güvenirlik katsayıları .74 (kendini açma) ile .83 (çatışma yönetimi) arasında değişmekte olup, ölçeğin toplam puanından elde edilen değer ise .87’dir. KYÖ’nün test tekrarı güvenirliği için üç hafta arayla yapılan ölçümlerde faktörlerin korelasyon katsayılarının ise .72 (duygusal destek) ile .89 (ilişki başlatma) aralığında değer aldıkları görülmüştür. Ölçeğin test-tekrar test güvenirlik katsayısı ise .89 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Sonuç olarak, yapılan geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmaları doğrultusunda beş faktörlü bu ölçeğin geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu belirlenmiştir.

The purpose of this study is to adapt the Interpersonal Competence Questionnaire (ICQ) which was originally developed by Buhrmester, Furman, Wittenberg, and Reis to Turkish and investigate the validity and reliability of the scale. The data was collected from 604 (354 female, 250 male) university students enrolled at Mersin University. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis was used to evaluate the construct validity of the scale.Results of the study indicated that the scale composed of five factors namely, “initiating relationships”, “emotional support”, “asserting influence”, “self-disclosure”, and “conflict management”. The results also showed that internal consistency coefficients of the factors as estimated by Cronbach alpha were ranged from .74 (self disclosure) to .83 (conflict management) and test-retests (three weeks interval) coefficients were ranged from .72 (emotional support) to .89 (initiating relationship).

Keywords:
