Türk Genç Yetişkin Örnekleminde Öz-Şefkat Ölçeği Kısa Formunun Psikometrik Özellikleri

Bu çalışmanın amacı Öz-Şefkat Ölçeği Kısa Formunun psikometrik özelliklerini Türk genç yetişkin örnekleminde incelemektir. Araştırmanın katılımcılarını, çalışma 1'deki 139, çalışma 2'deki 200 Türk üniversite öğrencisi oluşmuştur. Öz-Şefkat Ölçeği Kısa Formu Türkçe’ye çevrilmiştir; uzmanlar çeviri çalışmalarını inceleyerek kapsam geçerliliğini kontrol etmişlerdir. Yapı geçerliliğini incelemek için her iki çalışmada doğrulayıcı faktör analizi yapılmıştır. Ölçeğin uzun versiyonunda da olduğu gibi altı faktörlü yapı ile üst-düzey tek faktörlü yapı, Öz-Şefkat Ölçeği Kısa Formu için hem çalışma 1’de hem de çalışma 2’de doğrulanmıştır. Yakınsak geçerliliği kontrol etmek için Öz-Şefkat Ölçeği Kısa Formunun puanları Bilinçli Farkındalık Ölçeği ve Pozitif ve Negatif Duygu Ölçeği puanları ile karşılaştırmış ve anlamlı korelasyonlar elde edilmiştir. İç-tutarlılığı ve test-tekrar-test güvenirliği kontrol etmek amacıyla güvenirlik analizleri yapılmıştır ve genel olarak kabul edilir güvenirlik tahminlerine ulaşılmıştır. Sonuç olarak, geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olan Öz-Şefkat Ölçeği Kısa Formu, Öz-Şefkat Ölçeğinin uzun versiyonuna alternatif olarak Türk genç yetişkinlerin öz-şefkat düzeylerini ölçmek için kullanılabilir.

Psychometric Properties of Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form in a Turkish Young Adult Sample

The current study aims to examine the psychometric properties of the Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form (SCS-SF) in a Turkish young adulthood sample. The study participants comprised 139 Turkish university students in Study 1 and 200 Turkish university students in Study 2. The SCS-SF was translated into Turkish; experts examined the translation studies to check the content validity. Confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to investigate construct validity in both studies. As with the long version, a six-factor and a single higher-order factor structure of the Shortened Self-Compassion Scale were confirmed in both study 1 and study 2. To check convergent validity, the scores of SCS-SF were compared with the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale and the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule scores significant correlations were found. Reliability analyses were conducted to test internal and test-retest reliability and generally yielded acceptable reliability estimates. Thus, as a reliable and valid instrument, the Self-Compassion Scale-Short Form can be used to measure the self-compassion level of Turkish young adults as an alternative to the long version of the SCS.
