Adaptation of The Children’s Role Inventory-20: Turkish Version Validity and Reliability Study

Abstract

The present study aims to adapt the “Children’s Role Inventory-20” (CRI-20) into Turkish and examine its validity and reliability. The study sample consisted of 303 participants aged ≥18 years, and these participants were selected through convenience sampling. Data were collected using “Personal Information Form,” “CRI-20,” “Spann–Fischer Codependency Scale,” “Michigan Alcoholism Screening Test,” and “Family Assessment Device.” The study data were analyzed using SPSS-22 and AMOS-22 software. The psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the CRI-20 were similar to that of the original version and consisted of a two-factor structure (lost child vs. mascot and scapegoat vs. hero) with four subscales; the goodness of fit indices of this inventory was also acceptable in the Turkish sample. The Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of the CRI-20 subscales varied from .73 to .80, thus indicating an acceptable level. The psychometric properties established in this study suggested that the Turkish version of the CRI-20 is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be employed to assess the roles adopted by individuals aged 18–50 years within a family system in the Turkish sample.

Çocukluk Rolleri Envanteri-20’nin Türkçe’ye Uyarlanması: Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

Abstract

Araştırmada ‘‘Çocukluk Rolü Envanteri-20’nin’’ Türkçe’ye uyarlanması, geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmasının yapılarak envanterin Türk literatürüne kazandırılması amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın örneklemini, uygun örnekleme yöntemi ile seçilen, 18 yaş ve üzeri gönüllü 303 birey oluşturmaktadır. Araştırmada veri toplama aracı olarak ‘Kişisel Bilgi Formu’, ‘Çocukluk Rolü Envanteri-20’, ‘Spann-Fischer İlişki Bağımlılığı Ölçeği’ ‘Michigan Alkol Tarama Testi (MATT)’ ve ‘Aile Değerlendirme Ölçeği (ADÖ)’ kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler SPSS-22 ve AMOS-22 bilgisayar programları kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. ‘‘Çocukluk Rolü Envanteri-20’ nin’’ Türkçe formunun, özgün formuyla benzer psikometrik özellikler gösterdiğini ortaya konmuştur. 20 maddelik Lost Child versus Mascot ve Scapegoat versus Hero olmak üzere iki faktörlü ve dört alt boyuttan oluşan yapı Türkiye örnekleminde de kabul edilebilir uyum iyiliği değerleri göstermiştir Çocukluk Rolü Envanteri-20 (ÇRE-20)’ nin alt boyutlarının Cronbach alfa katsayılarının .73 ile .80 arasında değiştiği ve kabul edilebilir düzeyde olduğu görülmüştür. Bu çalışmanın sonucunda elde edilen psikometrik özellikler, Çocukluk Rolü Envanteri-20 Türkçe formunun Türkiye örnekleminde; 18 ile 50 yaş aralığındaki bireylerin aile sistemi içerisinde sahip oldukları çocukluk rollerinin ölçümünde kullanılabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğunu göstermektedir.
