TURKISH VERSION OF THE FEEDBACK ORIENTATION SCALE: INVESTIGATION OF PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES

Abstract

The aim of the study is to examine the psychometric properties of the Feedback Orientation Scale. In the research, descriptive research method, which is one of the quantitative research methods, was used. The aim of this research is to adapt the Feedback Orientation Scale which is developed by Yang, Sin, Li, Guo and Lui (2014) to Turkish culture. The research was carried out on 219 university students. The four-dimensional model consisting of 20 items was found to be compatible in exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Internal consistency, item and factor analysis studies were conducted to examine the psychometric properties of the scale. As a result of reliability analysis, Cronbach Alpha coefficient for the scale was found as .90. As a result of exploratory factor analysis, Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin sample adequacy value of the scale was .89; 58% of the four-dimensional scale variance was explained. It was observed that the total correlated items of the scale varied between .39 and .68.
