ADAPTATION OF THE MEASURE OF ANXIETY IN SELECTION INTERVIEWS (MASI) TO TURKISH: A STUDY OF VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY

Abstract

The main aim of this study is to determine the psychometric properties of MASI (Measure of Anxiety in Selection Interviews) in a sample group in Turkey. A total of 782 participants were reached in the research. Participants who left 5% or more of the survey questions blank (n = 176) and those who had no prior internship/job interview experience (n = 158) were not included in the data analysis. The final sample consisted of 448 participants (252 female, 196 male) with ages ranging from 18 to 63 ( X̄ = 29.04, SD = 9.99). Participants were administered the Liebowitz Social Anxiety Scale, Communication Anxiety Scale (CAS-24), and Anxiety Scale in Selection Interviews (MASI). Exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis were applied to determine the construct validity of the scale. The findings of the exploratory factor analysis indicated that MASI-Turkish (MASI-T) consisted of 30 items and 4 factors. These factors were named communication anxiety, social-appearance anxiety, performance anxiety, and behavioral anxiety. It was found that the factors explained 58% of the variance. The factor loadings of the scale items ranged from .34 to .78. After the exploratory factor analysis, the confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model adequately fit a four-factor solution (CFI = .91, NFI = .87, GFI = .86, IFI = .91, AGFI=.83, TLI = .91, and RMSEA = .061). High levels of correlation were found between the scale and the other two scales in criterion-related validity. The internal consistency coefficient of the scale was found to be .95. The internal consistency coefficients for each anxiety dimension were as follows: communication = .81, social-appearance = .91, performance = .89, and behavioral = .85. Additionally, the findings indicated that females and individuals currently not employed exhibited higher levels of anxiety compared to males and currently employed participants. Age and subjective performance evaluation in the last interview were negatively correlated with anxiety scores. These results demonstrate that MASI-T is a valid and reliable measurement tool.

SEÇİM MÜLAKATLARINDA KAYGI ÖLÇEĞİ (MASI)’NİN TÜRKÇEYE UYARLANMASI: GEÇERLİK VE GÜVENİRLİK ÇALIŞMASI

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın temel amacı, Türkiye'deki bir örneklem grubunda MASI'nin (Measure of Anxiety in Selection Interviews) psikometrik özelliklerini belirlemektir. Araştırmada toplam 782 katılımcıya ulaşılmıştır. Anket sorularının %5’i ve daha fazlasını boş bırakan (n = 176) ve daha önce sta j/iş mülakatı deneyimi olmayan (n = 158) katılımcılar veri analizine dâhil edilmemiştir. Nihai örneklem, yaşları 18 ile 63 arasında değişen ( X̄ = 29.04, SS = 9.99) 448 katılımcıdan (252 kadın, 196 erkek) oluşmaktadır. Katılımcılara Seçim Mülakatlarında Kaygı Ölçeği (MASI), Liebowitz Sosyal Kaygı Ölçeği ve İletişim Kaygısı Ölçeği (İKÖ-24) uygulanmıştır. Ölçeğin faktör yapısını belirlemek için açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi uygulanmıştır. Açımlayıcı faktör analizi bulguları, MASI-Türkçe (MASI-T)’nin 30 madde ve 4 faktörden oluştuğunu göstermiştir. Bu faktörler iletişim kaygısı, sosyal-görünüm kaygısı, performans kaygısı ve davranışsal kaygı olarak isimlendirilmiştir. Faktörlerin varyansın %58’ini açıkladığı tespit edilmiştir. Ölçek maddelerinin faktör yük değerlerinin ise .34 ile .78 arasında değiştiği görülmüştür. Açımlayıcı faktör analizinden sonra yapılan doğrulayıcı faktör analizinde verinin modele kabul edilebilir düzeyde uyum gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir (CFI = .91, NFI = .86, GFI = .86, IFI = .91, AGFI=.83, TLI = .90, ve RMSEA = .061). Ölçeğin ölçüt bağıntılı geçerliğinde diğer iki ölçek ile yüksek düzeyde korelasyon bulunmuştur. Ölçeğin Cronbach alfa iç tutarlık katsayısı .95 olarak bulunmuştur. Her kaygı boyutu için iç tutarlılık katsayıları şu şekildedir: iletişim = .81, sosyal-görünüm = .91, performans = .89 ve davranışsal =.85. Ayrıca bulgular, kadınların ve şu anda bir işte çalışmayan bireylerin erkeklere ve halen çalışmakta olan katılımcılara göre daha yüksek kaygı düzeyine sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Yaş ve son mülakattaki öznel performans değerlendirmesi, kaygı puanları ile negatif ilişkilidir. Bu sonuçlar, MASI-T’nin geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğunu göstermektedir.
