Turkish adaptation of the ıntentions towards ınfidelity scale: Validity and reliability studies

Abstract: The aim of the current study is to adapt the Intentions towards Infidelity Scale developed by Jones, Olderbak ve Figueredo (2011) and to examine the reliability and validity of the scale. The seven item scale was translated into Turkish and was back translated into English. Students and experts evaluated the items. The final version of the scale was administered to 291 (196 female, 95 male) volunteered undergraduates from Faculty of Education, Middle East Technical University. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis regarding the construct validity of the scale supported the single- factor structure of the original scale. Results of concurrent validity studies yielded significant correlations between the scores of Intentions towards Infidelity Scale and the agreeableness and conscientiousnesspersonality traits and all the six reasons of Infidelity Scale. Findings yielded significant gender difference and showed that the correlation between Intentions towards Infidelity Scale and Social Desirability Scale was not significant. The internal consistency and the test-retest reliability coefficients were computed as .82 and .85, respectively which were also similar to that of original scale. Based on these results, it can be concluded that the Turkish version of Intentions towards Infidelity Scale was a valid and reliable scale to measure the likelihood of engaging in infidelity behaviors of undergraduates.
