Developing The Scale For Identifying Small ‘t’ Traumatic Experiences

Abstract

Objectives: The objective of the research was to create the "Small ‘t’ Traumatic Experiences Identification Scale" for the purpose of identifying small ‘t’ traumatics experiences and to investigate the influence of psychological needs on small ‘t’ traumatic occurrences. Method: The study participants consisted of 549 individuals for the exploratory factor analysis, 307 for the confirmatory factor analysis, and 89 for the test-retest analysis, all over the age of 18. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were employed to assess the construct validity of the newly developed scale. Reliability analyses of the scale were performed using test-retest and internal consistency coefficients. Following the creation of the scale, multiple linear regression analyses (MLRA) were conducted using data from 806 university students to ascertain the extent to which psychological needs, along with their sub-dimensions, predict small ‘t’ traumatic experiences. Findings: The goodness of fit indices were χ2/sd (3102.59/942) =3.29, p=.001, SRMR: .064; NNFI:96; IFI=.96; CFI=.96; RMSEA=.087. The internal consistency coefficients were .96 for ‘Small ‘t’ Trauma Related to Family Relationships’, .92 for ‘Small ‘t’ Trauma Related to Social Relationships’, and .76 for ‘Small ‘t’ Trauma Related to Physiological Needs’, and .96 for the total scale. Result: The findings of the study indicated that the developed scale exhibited a three-factor structure and demonstrated satisfactory levels of validity and reliability, supporting its suitability for application. Additionally, the study revealed that psychological needs emerged as a significant predictor of small ‘t’ traumatic experiences based on the obtained results.
