Abstract

The aim of this study is to develop a self-perception scale for adolescents. In line with this purpose, content validity, construct validity, internal consistency, and test-retest reliability of the scale were carried out across five different studies. As a result of the content validity study, a 96-item draft form was created. Results of the exploratory factor analysis suggested that the scale has a five-factor structure consisting of general self-perception, physical self-perception, academic self-perception, social self-perception, and family self-perception. This five-factor structure was confirmed by confirmatory factor analysis and exploratory structural equation modeling analysis (Set-ESEM) in a different sample of high school students. Results of the reliability analyses of the scale also suggested that subscales and total scale had a high level of internal consistency and acceptable temporal stability. Consequently, results of five studies suggest that the Self Perception Scale for Adolescents is a valid and reliable scale that can be used to measure multidimensional self-perception of high school students. Future studies can examine, the predictive, concurrent, and divergent validity of the scale. Moreover, the validity and reliability studies of the scale can be repeated in an adolescent sample consisting of middle school stu-dents.

Ergenler İçin Benlik Algısı Ölçeğinin Geliştirilmesi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada ergenler için bir benlik algısı ölçeği geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda beş farklı araştırmayla ölçeğin kapsam geçerliliği, yapı geçerliliği, iç tutarlılığı, test-tekrar test güvenirliliği gerçekleştirilmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen kapsam geçerliliği çalışması sonucunda 96 maddelik bir taslak form oluşturulmuştur. Bu taslak form üzerinde gerçekleştirilen açımlayıcı faktör analiziyle de ölçeğin genel benlik algısı, fiziksel benlik algısı, akademik benlik algısı, sosyal benlik algısı ve aile benlik algısı boyutlarından oluşan beş faktörlü bir yapıya sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Bu beş faktörlü yapı farklı bir lise öğrencisi örnekleminde doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ve açımlayıcı yapısal eşitlik modellemesi analizleriyle (Set-ESEM) de doğrulanmıştır. Ölçeğin güvenilirlik analizi sonuçlarına göre ölçek alt boyutlarının ve ölçeğin tamamının yüksek düzeyde iç tutarlılığa ve iyi düzeyde test-tekrar test güvenilirliğine sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak, Ergenler için Benlik Algısı Ölçeği’nin lise öğrencilerinin benlik algılarının ölçülmesinde kullanılabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu söylenebilir. İlerleyen araştırmalarda ölçeğin yordama geçerliliği, eş değer ölçekler ve aykırı ölçekler geçerliliği incelenebilir. Ayrıca ölçeğin geçerlilik ve güvenilirlik çalışmaları ortaokul öğrencilerinden oluşan bir ergen örnekleminde tekrarlanabilir.
