Multidimensional Psychological Flexibility Inventory Short Form (MPFISF) for Adolescents: Adaptation to Turkish, Validity and Reliability Study

Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to examine the validity and reliability of the Multidimensional Psychological Flexibility Inventory Short Form (MPFI-SF) developed by Rolffs, Rogge, and Wilson (2016) in an adolescent sample by adapting it into Turkish. A total of 995 volunteer high school students, 430 girls and 565 boys, participated in the study. The ages of the students ranged between 14-18 and the mean age was 15.32. EFA, CFA and criterion validity analysis were conducted as validity analysis. As a result of EFA, a two-factor structure with 24 items explaining 68'03% of the total variance was obtained. The factor loadings of the items in the inventory ranged between .68 and .91. CFA results showed that the goodness of fit indices (χ2/Sd=2.197; CFI=.97; NFI=.92; IFI=.96; TLI=.95; RMSEA=.072; SRMR=.032) were at acceptable levels. Correlation analyses related to criterion validity were found to be significant in the expected direction. Cronbach Alpha and test-retest reliability coefficients were calculated to determine the reliability of the inventory. The Cronbach's Alpha reliability coefficient was .97 for the psychological flexibility subscale and .96 for psychological rigidity; the test-retest reliability was .85 for the psychological flexibility subscale and .83 for psychological rigidity. As a result, it can be said that the CBPEE-CF is a valid and reliable instrument that can be used to determine the psychological flexibility levels of adolescents.

Ergenler İçin Çok Boyutlu Psikolojik Esneklik Envanteri Kısa Formu (ÇBPEE-KF): Türkçeye Uyarlama, Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

Abstract

Bu araştırmada, Rolffs, Rogge ve Wilson (2016) tarafından geliştirilen Çok Boyutlu Psikolojik Esneklik Envanteri Kısa Formu’nun (ÇBPEE-KF) Türkçeye uyarlanarak ergen örnekleminde geçerlik ve güvenirliğinin incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmaya 430’u kız 565’i erkek olmak üzere toplam 995 gönüllü lise öğrencisi katılmıştır. Öğrencilerin yaşları 14-18 arasında değişmekte olup yaş ortalamaları 15.32’dir. Geçerlik analizi kapsamında AFA, DFA ve ölçüt geçerliği analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. AFA sonucunda toplam varyansın %68’03’ünü açıklayan 24 maddelik iki faktörlü bir yapı elde edilmiştir. Envanterde yer alan maddelerin faktör yüklerinin .68 ile .91 arasında bir değer aldığı görülmüştür. DFA sonuçları, uyum iyiliği indekslerinin (χ2/Sd=2.197; CFI=.97; NFI=.92; IFI=.96; TLI=.95; RMSEA=.072; SRMR=.032) kabul edilebilir düzeyde olduğunu göstermiştir. Ölçüt geçerliğine ilişkin yapılan korelasyon analizleri beklendiği yönde anlamlı bulunmuştur. Envanterin güvenirliğini belirlemek için Cronbach Alpha ve test-tekrar test güvenirlik katsayıları hesaplanmıştır. ÇBPEE-KF’nin Cronbach Alpha güvenirlik katsayısı psikolojik esneklik alt boyutu için .97 ve psikolojik katılık için ise .96; test-tekrar test güvenirliği psikolojik esneklik alt boyutu için .85 ve psikolojik katılık için ise .83 olarak bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak, ÇBPEE-KF’nin ergenlerin psikolojik esneklik düzeylerini belirlemede kullanılabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir araç olduğu söylenilebilir.
