Trans Bireylere Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği'nin Türkçe Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

Bu çalışmanın amacı Trans Bireylere Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği’nin Türkçe’ye uyarlanmasıdır. Çalışma 218 üniversite öğrencisi ile yürütülmüştür. Katılımcılardan Cinsiyetçilik ve Transfobi Ölçeği, Walch ve arkadaşları tarafından geliştirilen Trans Bireylere Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği ve araştırmacılar tarafından hazırlanan katılımcı bilgi formun cevaplanması istenmiştir. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliliği öncelikle açımlayıcı faktör analizi (AFA), ardından ise doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) ile sınanmış olup, ölçüt geçerliğinin sınanması için Pearson korelasyon katsayısına bakılmıştır. Ölçeğe ilişkin güvenilirlik değeri ise Cronbach alfa katsayısı ile hesaplanmıştır. Katılımcıların 158’inin (%72.5) cinsiyetini kadın, 58’i (%26.6) erkek ve 1’i (%0.5) diğer olarak tanımlamıştır. DFA sonucunda uyum iyiliği değerlerinin kabul edilebilir düzeyde olduğu görülmüştür (SRMR = .048, X2 = 437.534, df = 170, p

Turkish Validity and Reliability Study of the Attitudes Toward Transgendered Individuals Scale

The purpose of this study was to adapt the Attitudes Toward Transgendered Individuals Scale to use in Turkish population. The study was conducted with 218 university students. Participants were asked to fill out, Genderism and Transphobia Scale, the Attitudes Toward Transgendered Individuals Scale developed by Walch et al., and demographic information form prepared by the researchers. Construct validity of the scale was first tested by exploratory factor analysis (EFA), followed by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), and criterion validity of the scale was tested by Pearson correlation coefficient. The reliability value of the scale was calculated by Cronbach alpha coefficient. 158 (72.5%) of the participants defined their gender as female, 58 (26.6%) as male, and 1 (.5%) as other. CFA showed that the goodness of fit of the model was satisfactory (SRMR = .048, X2 = 437.534, df = 170, p
