ADAPTATION STUDY OF THE ‘SOCIAL MOTIVATION QUESTIONNAIRE’ TO TURKISH

Abstract

Objective The aim of this study is to adapt the ‘Social Motivation Questionnaire’ into Turkish and to ensure its validity and reliability. Material and Method First of all, the questionnaire was translated from its English original to Turkish by two independent researchers with a good level of English. Then, it was translated back into English. The content validity of the questionnaire, which was provided with language compatibility in this way, in Turkish culture was examined on 18 participants. For the pilot application of the questionnaire that provided the content validity, individuals (n=137) who were in the waiting room of our hospital, were older than 18 years, from different age groups, and had the ability to read and write in Turkish. Participants' descriptive information form, EQ-5D general quality of life scale and social motivation questionnaire were administered face-toface. Results It was determined that the Turkish version of the questionnaire provided content validity, with the calculated I-CVI values in the range of 0.78-1.00 and the S-CVI value being 0.93. One of the items (Item 8) of the 'emotion regulator' sub-dimension of the questionnaire was removed from the Turkish version of the questionnaire because it decreased the Cronbach's alpha coefficient. Other one (Item 2) was removed from the Turkish version of the questionnaire because overlapping by showing a shift to both subdimensions. Thus, it was seen that the Turkish version of the 6-item and 2 sub-dimension questionnaire with a Cronbach Alpha value of 0.693 provided the confirmatory factor analysis goodness-of-fit values. The total score of the questionnaire had a moderate correlation with the emotion regulation sub-dimension score (r=0.581) and a very high correlation (r=0.955) with the information seeking sub-dimension score. Conclusion The adaptation, validity and reliability of the Social Motivation Questionnaire into Turkish was ensured with a 6-item and 2 sub-dimension structure.
