Abstract

Bu araştırmada depremi deneyimlemiş ortaokul kademesindeki ergenlerin deprem kaygı düzeylerini ölçebilecek bir ölçme aracının geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Nicel araştırma yöntemlerinden betimsel tarama modeliyle gerçekleştirilen araştırmanın çalışma grubunu 6 Şubat 2023’te Türkiye’nin Kahramanmaraş ilinde meydana gelen depremlerin etkilediği illerden Diyarbakır, Malatya, Adıyaman ve Gaziantep’teki ortaokullarda eğitim gören 10-14 yaşları arasındaki toplam 866 ergen birey oluşturmuştur. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliğini belirlemek için iki farklı grup üzerinden faktör analizleri yapılmıştır. Öncelikle açımlayıcı faktör analizi ile ölçeğin tek faktörden oluştuğu ve toplam varyansın %64.34’ünü açıkladığı belirlenmiştir. Ardından gerçekleştirilen doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda tek faktörlü ölçeğin yapısı bir model olarak doğrulanmıştır. Ölçeğin güvenirlik çalışması için Cronbach Alpha katsayısı ve madde toplam korelasyonları hesaplanmış ve alt %27’lik-üst %27’lik grupların karşılaştırması yapılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçları, ortaokul kademesindeki ergenlerin deprem kaygı düzeyini ölçmek için geliştirilen ölçeğin geçerli, güvenilir ve kullanışlı bir ölçme aracı olduğunu göstermiştir.

Developing an Earthquake Anxiety Scale: A Validity and Reliability Study

Abstract

In this study, the aim is to develop a tool that can measure earthquake anxiety levels of adolescents at the secondary school level who have experienced the earthquake. The study was conducted with the help of the quantitative descriptive survey model. The study group consisted of 866 adolescents aged between 10-14 years and studying in secondary schools in four provinces (Diyarbakır, Malatya, Adıyaman, and Gaziantep) affected by the earthquakes that took place in the Kahramanmaraş province of Türkiye on 6 February, 2023. In order to determine the construct validity of the scale, factor analyses were conducted on two different groups. First, an exploratory factor analysis revealed that the scale consisted of one factor, and explained 64.34% of the total variance. The confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the structure of the scale as a model. For the reliability of the scale, Cronbach Alpha coefficient, and item-total correlations were calculated, and the lowest 27% group was compared with the highest 27% group. The results of the study show that the scale developed to measure the earthquake anxiety level of adolescents at the secondary school level is a valid, reliable, and useful measurement tool.
