Adaptation of Fear Experiences Questionnaire to Turkish: the Validity and Reliability Study

Abstract

In this study the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Fear Experiences Questionnaire were investigated. For the construct validity of the questionnaire that was administered to a sample of 1087 adolescents aged between 12 and 17 years, exploratory, confirmatory, and hierarchic factor analyses were conducted. For internal criterion discriminant validity, high and low distinct group based t-test was conducted. For criterion-related validity, correlations between the questionnaire and six scales were analyzed. For the reliability of the questionnaire, the test was readministered after 7-10 days. The internal consistency was calculated with Cronbach alpha and McDonald’s coefficient Omega. The findings pointed out that the Fear Experiences Questionnaire can give both subscale scores and an overall fear score.
