Erratum Note

Bu düzeltme metni, İletişim Kuram ve Araştırma Dergisi'nin 67. sayısında yayımlanan “Tutar, H., & Mutlu, H. T. (2024). Dijital Yorgunluk Ölçeği (DİYÖ): Geçerlilik ve güvenirlik çalışması. İletişim Kuram ve Araştırma Dergisi, (67), 56–74.” başlıklı makalemize ilişkindir. Söz konusu makalede geliştirilen Dijital Yorgunluk Ölçeği'nin uygulayıcılara yol gösterebilmesi amacıyla, ölçekten elde edilen toplam puanların yorumlanmasına yönelik düzeysel bir sınıflandırma metnine yer verilmemiştir. Bu eksikliğin giderilmesi amacıyla, “Ölçeğin Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi (DFA) Sonuçları” başlığından hemen önce gelecek şekilde aşağıdaki metnin eklenmesi talep edilmiştir.

Abstract

Dijital yorgunluk, fiziksel, psikolojik ve zihinsel yorgunluk ve kişiler arası ilişkiler de dahil olmak üzere insanların yaşamlarını olumsuz etkileyen bilgi çağına özgü bir yorgunluk biçimidir. Bu çalışmada geliştirilen Dijital Yorgunluk Ölçeği: Geçerlilik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması, dijital teknolojiyi yoğun olarak kullananların dijital yorgunluk algılarının değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Ölçek geliştirme sürecinde, dijital yorgunluğun ortak temalarını, dijital yorgunluğa neden olan faktörleri ve ilişkili sonuçları belirlemek için literatürün sistematik ve derinlemesine incelemesi yapılmış ve katılımcılarla görüşmeler yapılarak madde havuzu oluşturulmuştur. Daha sonra dijital yorgunluğun altında yatan boyutları belirlemek amacıyla keşfedici faktör analizi yapılarak, birbiriyle örtüşen maddelerin çıkarılmasıyla ölçeğin iyileştirilmesi sağlanmıştır. Faktör Analizi; Dijital Bağımlılık, psikolojik yorgunluk, Fiziksel-Zihinsel Yorgunluk ve Psikosomatik Sorunlar gibi dijital yorgunluğun farklı yönlerini temsil eden dört faktörden oluştuğu tespit edilmiştir. Daha sonra belirlenen faktör yapısının istikrarını değerlendirmek için doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) yapılmıştır. Ölçeğin iç tutarlılığını değerlendirmek için Cronbach's alpha güvenilirlik analizi yapılmıştır. Analizler ölçeğin Cronbach alfa katsayısının yüksek iç tutarlılığa (0,957) sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Ölçek skorları geliştirilen ölçeğin araştırmacılar ve uygulayıcılar için dijital yorgunluğu ölçmek için güvenilir ve geçerliliği yüksek bir ölçek olduğunu göstermektedir.

Digital Fatigue Scale (DFS): A Validity and Reliability Study

The original article was published on July 25, 2024. https://dergipark.org.tr/en/pub/ikad/article/1426571

Abstract

Digital fatigue is a form of fatigue specific to the information age that negatively affects people's lives, including physical, psychological, and mental fatigue and interpersonal relationships. The Digital Fatigue Scale: Validity and Reliability Study developed in this study aimed to evaluate the digital fatigue perceptions of those who use digital technology extensively. During the scale development process, a systematic and in-depth literature review was conducted to identify common themes of digital fatigue, factors that cause digital fatigue, and related consequences, and an item pool was created by interviews with participants. Then, exploratory factor analysis was performed to determine the underlying dimensions of digital fatigue, and the scale was improved by removing overlapping items. Factor Analysis: It has been found that Digital Addiction consists of four factors representing different aspects of digital fatigue, such as psychological fatigue, Physical-Mental Fatigue, and Psychosomatic Problems. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was then performed to evaluate the stability of the determined factor structure. Cronbach's alpha reliability analysis assessed the scale's internal consistency. Analyzes showed that the Cronbach's alpha coefficient of the scale had high internal consistency (0.957). Scale scores indicate that the developed scale is reliable and valid for researchers and practitioners to measure digital fatigue.
