Development of the Need Satisfaction Perceived Online Scale

Abstract

This study aimed to develop the Need Satisfaction Perceived Online Scale to measure individuals' satisfaction of perceived basic psychological needs in online environments. The sample of the study consisted of a total of 856 university students aged between 18-25 years, 251 (184 Female, 67 Male) for scale adaptation study, 346 (277 Female, 69 Male) to perform exploratory factor analysis for scale development study and 289 (227 Female, 62 Male) to perform confirmatory factor analysis. Data collection instruments included “The Need Satisfaction Perceived Online Scale”, “The Basic Needs Satisfaction Scale of College Students”, “The Self-Disclosure Scale” and “Personal Information Form”. A scale of 12 items and 3 sub-scales was obtained, explaining 57.9% of the total variance. The observed fit values showed good fit. Significant positive correlations were obtained between the sub-scales of the instrument used for evaluating criterion-related validity and those of the corresponding developed scale (p<.01). Likewise, significant correlations were established between the sub-scales of the instrument utilized in the examination of discriminant validity and those of the developed scale (p<.01). The Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient was determined to be .80 for the entire scale. Based on the findings, the developed scale was valid and reliable.
