Developing of Gestalt Contact Disturbances Scale
Abstract
In this study reliability and validity of the Gestalt Contact Disturbance Scale which is developed for Turkish culture were investigated. Participants of the study were a total of 1075 students (739 female and 336 male) who were given the scale during the autumn semester of 2008-2009. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were used for testing construct validity for the Gestalt Contact Disturbances Scale (GTEÖ). The factor analyses revealed four factors. It also showed that the model had high fit indices. The contact factor had five items, full contact factor had eight items, dependent contact factor had seven items and final contact had four items. Internal consistency coefficient was assessed by computing Cronbach’s alpha coefficients. For this the form was administered to the 365 participants during second phase. The resulting coefficients were .61 for the contact, .79 for the full contact, .75 for the dependent contact and .60 for the final contact. Test-re-test reliability coefficients (three week interval) were;.74 for the contact, .77 for the full contact, .69 for the dependent contact and .65 for the final contact.
