Kişisel Anlam Profili: Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

Abstract

Frankl’a göre, anlam arayışı temel insan güdüsüdür ve birey yaşamda anlam bulduğu ölçüde hayata tutunur. Anlam kavramı insandan insana değişen, an’a özgü bir olgudur. Bu bağlamda bireyin yaşamında anlam kaynaklarının farkında olması anlamlı bir yaşam için gereklidir. Bireye özgü anlam kaynaklarını tespit etmek amacıyla geliştirilen ölçme araçları bulunmaktadır. Bunlardan biri Wong (1998) tarafından geliştirilen Kişisel Anlam Profilidir. Çalışmanın amacı Kişisel Anlam Profili Türkçe formunun faktör yapısını incelemektir. Araştırmanın örneklemini 304 üniversite öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda 57 madde, yedi faktörden (başarı, ilişki, din, kendini-aşma, kendinikabul, yakınlık, adil muamele/algılanan adalet) oluşan ölçekten elde edilen uyum indekslerinin kabul edilebilir (x²=3170.41, sd=1518, p=.00, x²/ sd=2.08, RMSEA=.060, NFI= .87, NNFI= .92, CFI=.93, IFI=.93, SRMR=.07) olduğu görülmüştür. Kişisel Anlam Profili Türkçe formunun faktör yükleri .30 ile .69 arasındadır. Ölçekten elde edilen Cronbach alfa katsayısı .93’dür. Ölçekteki maddelerin ayırt ediciliği, madde analizi ve % 27’lik alt-üst grup karşılaştırmaları ile incelenmiştir. Sonuçlar dikkate alındığında Kişisel Anlam Profili Türkçe formunun geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu söylenebilir
