THE VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY OF THE TURKISH VERSION OF THE SEXUAL SELF-CONSCIOUSNESS SCALE

Araştırmanın amacı Cinsel Öz-bilinç Ölçeğini Türkçeye uyarlamaktır. Araştırma 336 evli birey üzerinde yapılmıştır. Ölçeğin uyarlama çalışmasında ölçeğin yapı geçerliği incelemek için açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi kullanılmıştır. Ölçeğin güvenirliğini belirlemek için Cronbach Alpha formülü kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca ölçeğin madde analizi için t-testi ve düzeltilmiş madde-toplam korelasyonu kullanılmıştır. Yapılan Açımlayıcı Faktör Analizi sonucu toplam varyansın %53.58'ini açıklayan ölçeğin original factor yapısına uygun iki faktörlü bir yapı elde edilmiştir. Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi sonucu Ki-kare değerinin anlamlı (x²= 108,13 sd= 53, p= 0.00) diğer uyum indeklerinin (RMSEA =0.080; AGFI= 0.85; CFI= 0.92; NNFI= 0.90; GFI= 0.90 ve SRMR= 0.079) de kabul edilebilir düzeyde olduğu bulunmuştur. Ölçeğin bütünü için içtutarlılık katsayısının 0.84, cinsel utangaçlık alt boyutu için 0.83, cinsel öz-odaklanma alt boyutu için 0.79 olduğu bulunmuştur. Bu bağlamda, ölçeğin iç tutarlılık güvenirlik katsayılarının yeterli düzeyde olduğu düşünülebilir. Madde analizi için yapılan t-testi (sd= 174) sonuçlarının 6.49 (p

CİNSEL ÖZ-BİLİNÇ ÖLÇEĞİ’NİN TÜRKÇE VERSİYONUNUN GEÇERLİK VE GÜVENİRLİĞİ

The purpose of this study was adapted Sexual Self-consciousness Scale. This study involved 336 married individuals. In scale adaptation study, structure validity was used for examine the validity of the scale. For structure validity, explanatory and confirmatory factor analyze were used. Cronbach’s Alpha formula was used for determine the reliability of the scale. Furthermore, t-test and corrected item-total correlation were used for item analysis. The original two factor structure of the scale was reproduced which showed that the Turkish form is close to the original, explaining 53.58% of the total variance using factor analysis. Confirmatory factor analysis revealed a significant chi-square result (x²= 108,13 df= 53, p= 0.00); RMSEA fit indices=0.080; AGFI= 0.85; CFI= 0.92; NNFI= 0.90; GFI= 0.90; and SRMR= 0.079. The internal consistency coefficient for the complete scale is 0.84; for the Sexual Embarrassment subscale 0.83; and for the Sexual Self-focus subscale 0.79. T-test results are significant, which results are related to the difference of lower 27% and upper 27% groups, that established in accordance to the total points of test. In the result of the item analysis, corrected item-total correlations are ranged from a low of 0.46 to a high of 0.70; and T –test values are ranged from a low of 6.49 (p
