The Validity and Reliability Study for the Turkish Version of the Dyadic Almost Perfect Scale

Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the validity and reliability of The Dyadic Almost Perfect Scale (DAPS) for Turkish people. DAPS (İİOOMÖ in Turkish) was administrated to 319 people and Multidimensional Perfect Scale (MPS-HF / ÇBMÖ in Turkish) was used for the convergent validity. In order to determine the construct validity of İİOOMÖ, factor analysis was conducted by using principal components analysis with varimax rotation. The analysis resulted in three factors known originally as “discrepancy”, “high standards” and “order”. The Cronbach’s coefficient alphas for these subscales range between .75 and .87. Also, test-retest reliability for the subscales ranges between .53 and .63. The analysis indicated that İİOOMÖ has a satisfactory level of validity and reliability on Turkish sample.

İKİLİ İLİŞKİLERDE OLUMLU OLUMSUZ MÜKEMMELİYETÇİLİK ÖLÇEĞİ: GEÇERLİK VE GÜVENİRLİK ÇALIŞMASI

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, İkili İlişkilerde Olumlu Olumsuz Mükemmeliyetçilik Ölçeği’nin (İİOOMÖ / DAPS) geçerlik ve güvenirliğinin incelenmesidir. Romantik bir ilişki içinde olan 319 kişi üzerinde uygulanan İİOOMÖ’nün yakınsak geçerliğini sınamak amacıyla Çok Boyutlu Mükemmeliyetçilik Ölçeği (ÇBMÖ-HF) kullanılmıştır. İİOOMÖ’nün yapı geçerliğini sınamak için varimaks eksen döndürme yöntemi kullanılarak yapılan faktör analizi sonucunda, orijinal ölçeğe uygun olan üç faktörlü bir yapı elde edilmiştir. Alt ölçekler, “farklılık”, “yüksek standartlar” ve “düzen” adları altında gruplanmıştır. Alt ölçeklerin Cronbach alfa iç tutarlık katsayıları .75 ile .87; test tekrar test güvenirlik katsayıları .53 ile .63 arasında değişmektedir. Analizler, İİOOMÖ’nin Türk örneklemi üzerinde yeterli düzeyde geçerlik ve güvenirlik değerlerine sahip olduğunu düşündürmektedir.
