Abstract

Objective: This study aims to conduct a Turkish adaptation of the Emotional Dysregulation Questionnaire (EDQ), which is theoretically grounded in the concept of emotional dysregulation and intended for use in both research and clinical settings. The study further seeks to investigate the psychometric properties of the adapted instrument.
Method: The study was conducted with a sample of 642 adult individuals between the ages of 18 and 65. The adaptation of the scale into Turkish followed a systematic process including forward and backward translation, expert evaluations for content validity, a pilot study, and subsequently, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Criterion-related validity was assessed through correlation analyses with the Psychological Well-Being Scale (PWBS). Reliability analyses were conducted by calculating Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega internal consistency coefficients.
Results: The findings of the study revealed that there was a statistically significant correlation between the English and Turkish versions of the EDQ, with Pearson correlation coefficients ranging from .30 to .84 (p < .05), indicating adequate linguistic equivalence. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) confirmed that the Turkish version of the EDQ retained the original eight-factor structure and demonstrated acceptable model fit for the Turkish sample (CFI = .85, RMSEA = .062). The overall Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated as .93, and the internal consistency values for the subdimensions ranged from .68 to .86. McDonald’s omega coefficients ranged between 69 and 87, indicating satisfactory reliability across all subscales.
Conclusion: This study demonstrates that the Turkish version of the Emotional Dysregulation Questionnaire (EDQ) is a valid and reliable assessment tool for use in psychological evaluation processes. It offers a unique contribution to the literature by enhancing the identification, monitoring, and intervention planning of emotional dysregulation, thereby supporting both clinical and research applications.

Abstract

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, kuramsal temeli duygusal düzensizlik kavramına dayanan ve hem araştırma hem de klinik ortamlarda kullanılmak üzere geliştirilen Duygusal Düzensizlik Ölçeği’nin (DDÖ) Türkçe uyarlamasını gerçekleştirmektir. Ayrıca, uyarlanan ölçeğin psikometrik özelliklerini incelemek hedeflenmiştir.
Yöntem: Çalışma, 18 ile 65 yaşları arasında 642 yetişkin bireyden oluşan bir örneklemle yürütülmüştür. Ölçeğin Türkçeye uyarlanma süreci; ileri ve geri çeviri, içerik geçerliği için uzman değerlendirmeleri, pilot çalışma ve ardından doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) adımlarını içermiştir. Kriter geçerliği, Psikolojik İyi Oluş Ölçeği (PİOÖ) ile yapılan korelasyon analizleriyle değerlendirilmiştir. Güvenirlik analizleri, Cronbach alfa ve McDonald omega iç tutarlılık katsayıları hesaplanarak yapılmıştır.
Bulgular: İngilizce ve Türkçe versiyonlar arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı korelasyonlar bulunmuştur (Pearson korelasyon katsayıları .30 ile .84 arasında, p < .05), bu da dilsel eşdeğerliğin yeterli olduğunu göstermektedir. DFA sonuçları, DDÖ’nün Türkçe versiyonunun özgün sekiz faktörlü yapısını koruduğunu ve Türk örneklem için kabul edilebilir model uyumu gösterdiğini ortaya koymuştur (CFI = .85, RMSEA = .062). Ölçeğin genel Cronbach alfa iç tutarlılık katsayısı .93 olarak hesaplanmış, alt boyutlara ait değerler ise .68 ile .86 arasında değişmiştir. McDonald omega katsayıları da .69 ile .87 arasında bulunmuş ve tüm alt ölçeklerde tatmin edici güvenirlik göstermiştir.
Sonuç: Bu çalışma, Duygusal Düzensizlik Ölçeği’nin (DDÖ) Türkçe versiyonunun psikolojik değerlendirme süreçlerinde kullanılabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçüm aracı olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır. Ölçek, duygusal düzensizliğin tanımlanması, izlenmesi ve müdahale planlamasında önemli katkılar sağlayarak klinik ve araştırma uygulamalarını desteklemektedir.
