Abstract

The purpose of the current research was to investigate the psychometric properties of the BSSS-4 in Turkish sample. In this study, firstly, the relationship between Turkish and English version was examined by Pearson Product-Moment Correlation for the linguistic equivalence. Exploratory factor analysis showed that four items loaded on single-factors as the factor structure of the original scale. The present study found that the Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient of the scale is .81. These results demonstrated that the Turkish form of the Brief Sensation Seeking Scale for Adolescents is a valid and reliable instrument.

Abstract

Bu araştırmanın amacı, Kısa Heyecan Arayışı Ölçeği’nin Türkçe versiyonunun psikometrik özelliklerinin incelenmesidir. Ölçeğin uyarlama çalışmasında öncelikle dilsel eşdeğerliğine bakılmıştır.Ölçeğin yapı geçerliği açımlayıcı faktör analizi ile incelenmiştir. Güvenirliği için ise iç tutarlılık katsayısı hesaplanmıştır. Yapılan açımlayıcı faktör analizi sonucu ölçeğin Türkçe versiyonunun orijinal yapısına uygun 4 maddeli tek faktörlü bir yapıya sahip olduğu ve güvenirlik analizinde iç tutarlılık katsayısının .81 olduğu görülmüştür. Madde analizi sonucu, ölçeğin maddelerine ilişkindüzeltilmiş madde-toplam korelasyonlarının .56 ile .68 arasında değiştiği bulunmuştur. Bu sonuçlara göre Ergenler için Kısa Heyecan Arayışı Ölçeğinin Türkçe versiyonunun geçerli ve güvenilirbir ölçme aracı olduğu söylenebilir
