Abstract

The aim of this study is to adapt the Smartphone Distraction Scale to Turkish and to examine its psychometric properties. The participants of the study consisted of a community sample of 399 people, 288 (72.2%) women and 111 (27.8%) men, aged between 18-60 (27.14±10.89). In data collection, Sociodemographic Form (SF), Smartphone Distraction Scale-Turkish Version (SDS), Bergen Social Media Scale (BSMS), Emotion Regulation Questionnaire (ERQ), Current Symptoms Scale (CSS), and Perceived Multitasking Scale (PMS) were used. The data were analyzed through Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient, Pearson product-moment correlation test, item-total score correlation coefficients, confirmatory factor analysis to estimate the construct validity of the scale. Considering the internal consistency reliability of the scale, the Cronbach alpha reliability coefficient was found to be .88 for attention/impulsivity, .80 for alertness, .76 for multitasking, and .76 for emotion regulation. The item and total score correlation coefficients of the scale items were found to be between 0.49 and 0.76. Confirmatory factor analysis supported the 16-item and four-factor structure of the scale. The correlation of SDS with BSMAS, ERQ, CSS, and PMS was found to be statistically significant. The results of the research show that the SDS adapted to Turkish culture is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used in academic studies and clinical settings.

Akıllı Telefona Bağlı Dikkat Dağınıklığı Ölçeğinin (ATDDÖ) Türkçe Uyarlama Çalışması

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Akıllı Telefona Bağlı Dikkat Dağınıklığı Ölçeği’nin (ATDDÖ) Türkçeye uyarlanması ve psikometrik özelliklerinin incelenmesidir. Araştırmanın katılımcıları 18-60 (27,14±10,89) yaş aralığındaki 288 (%72,2) kadın ve 111 (%27,8) erkek olmak üzere 399 kişilik toplum örnekleminden oluşmaktadır. Verilerin toplanmasında Sosyodemografik Form (SF), Akıllı Telefona Bağlı Dikkat Dağınıklığı Ölçeği-Türkçe Versiyonu (ATDDÖ), Bergen Sosyal Medya Ölçeği (BSMÖ), Duygu Düzenleme Ölçeği (DDÖ), Mevcut Semptomlar Ölçeği (MSÖ) ve Algılanan Çoklu Görev Ölçeği (AÇGÖ) kullanılmıştır. Verilere Cronbach alfa iç tutarlılık katsayısı, Pearson momentler çarpımı korelasyon testi, madde-toplam puan korelasyon katsayıları, ölçeğin yapı geçerliliğini tahmin etmek için doğrulayıcı faktör analizi istatistikleri uygulanmıştır. Ölçeğin iç tutarlılık güvenirliği dikkate alındığında, Cronbach alfa güvenirlik katsayısı dikkat/dürtüsellik için ,88, online uyanıklık için ,80, çoklu görev için ,76, duygu düzenleme için ,76 olarak bulunmuştur. Ölçek maddelerinin madde toplam puan korelasyon katsayılarının 0,49 ile 0,76 arasında olduğu saptanmıştır. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ölçeğin 16 madde ve dört faktörlü yapısını desteklemiştir. ATDDÖ'nün BSMÖ, DDÖ, MSÖ ve AÇDÖ ile korelasyonu istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bulunmuştur. Araştırma sonuçları, Türkçe’ye uyarlanan ATDDÖ’nün akademik çalışmalarda ve klinik ortamlarda kullanılabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğunu göstermektedir.
