Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı yetişkin bireyler için
ebeveynleştirilme düzeylerini geçerli ve güvenilir bir şekilde ölçebilecek bir
ölçme aracı geliştirmektir. Araştırmaya iki farklı çalışma grubu olarak toplam
705 kişi (510 kadın, 195 erkek) katılmıştır. Benzer ölçek geçerliliği için
Jurkovic, Thirkield ve Morel (2001) tarafından geliştirilen, Karagöbek (2014)
tarafından Türkçe uyarlaması yapılan Filial Sorumluluk Ölçeği – Yetişkin
Versiyonu kullanılmıştır. EÇÖ-Y’nin faktör yapısını belirlemek amacıyla
açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri yapılmış ve bulgular ışığında
ölçeğin iki alt ölçekten oluştuğu, ilk alt ölçeğin dört faktörlü, ikinci alt
ölçeğin tek faktörlü bir yapı olduğu bulunmuştur. EÇÖ-Y’nin Cronbach alpha iç
tutarlık katsayısı .88 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Madde toplam korelasyon
katsayıları ise .37 ile .71 arasında bulunmuştur. Ölçeğin ilk alt ölçeğinin
doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda 22 maddenin dört faktörlü olduğu sonucu
elde edilmiştir ve ki-kare uyum değerinin (c2=506.42,
sd=203, p=.00) anlamlı olduğu görülmüştür. Modelin uyumuna ilişkin c²/sd
sonucu 2.49 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca RMSEA= .073, CFI=.95, NFI=.92,
NNFI=.94, IFI=.95, RFI=.91 ve GFI=.86 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Test tekrar test
güvenirlik katsayı .91 bulunmuştur. EÇÖ-Y’nin, FSÖ ile arasındaki ilişkideki
korelasyon katsayısı .81 olarak analiz edilmiştir. Yapılan geçerlik ve
güvenirlik çalışmaları sonucunda, EÇÖ-Y yeterli değerlere sahip geçerli ve
güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu görülmüştür.

Development of the Parentified Child Scale- Adult Version: A Reliability and Validity Study

Abstract

This study aims to develop a scale that can measure
parentification levels for adults in a valid and reliable way. A total of 705
people (510 females, 195 males) participated in the study. The Filial
Responsibility Scale-Adult Version developed by Jurkovic, Thirkield and Morel
(2001), adopted to Turkish by Karagöbek (2014) was used for Convergent and
Discrimant Validity. It was found that the Parentified Child Scale Adult
Version (PCS-A) scale consists of two sub-scales and the first sub-scale has
four factors and the second sub-scale has one factor through explanatory and
confirmatory factor analysis. The Cronbach Alpha coefficient of PCS-A is found
as .88. The item total correlation coefficients were between .37 and .71.
Confirmatory factor analysis of the first sub-scale of the scale shows that 22
items had four factors and the chi-square fit (c2=506.42,
df=203, p=.00) was significant. The c2/df
result for model fit was determined to be 2.49. In addition, RMSEA = .073, CFI
= .95, NFI = .92, NNFI = .94, IFI = .95, RFI.91 and GFI = .86 were calculated.
The test-retest correlation coefficient was found to be .91. The relationship
between the PCS-A and the FRS was analysed as .81. The results suggest that
Parentified Child Scale-Adult Version is a valid and reliable instrument.
