Adaptation of Childhood Trauma Questionnaire (CTQ) To Turkish Culture: Validity and Reliability

Abstract

The aim of this study is adaptation of Childhood Trauma Questionnaire to Turkish culture. For the validity of the scale, it was translated into Turkish. To evaluate the construct validity of the scale, KMO Test and Barlett's Test were used. In the study, CFA was performed for construct validity. Item statistics, half-way test and Cronbach's Alpha Coefficients were used as reliability methods. In order to test the invariance of time, the scale was applied to the same sample at three weeks intervals. The value of KMO was found to be .964 and Barlett to be 10652.579 and p=.000 When the model for CTQ consisting of 25 items and five sub-factors were examined, it was seen that the x2/sd, CFI, IFI, RMSEA, RMR and SRMR fit indexes were at an acceptable level and that PNFI and PGFI values achieved good fit. A positive correlation was found between item scores and total scale scores, and this relationship was statistically significant (r=.51 to .87 and p=.000). Total item correlation values of all items were found to be above .30. The Cronbach Alpha of CTQ was .970 and the Cronbach Alpha of the sub-dimensions ranged from .930 to .957. A positive linear correlation was found between pre-test and post-test measurements which were conducted to determine the invariance of CTQ (r=.809; p=.000). It was found that CTQ was valid and highly reliable and did not show any change in time.
