Turkish Adaptation of Parental Reactions to Children’s Positive Emotions Scale: A Validity and Reliability Study
Abstract
aim of the study, which investigates psychometric characteristics of parental reactions to children’s positive emotions scale (PRCPS) for Turkish parents. The study included 295 mothers and 295 fathers who have children aged 4-12 from Aksaray city center. ABÇODT is a 7-point Likert-type scale consisting of 12 scenarios. The translation and back translation process was conducted for the Turkish adaptation of the scale. Expert opinions were obtained for scope, semantic and conceptual equivalence. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used to assess the reliability of the scale and to examine the construct validity Results of CFA clarified that the scale has a four factor structure (socialization, encouragement, discomfort, reprimand) Inner consistency coefficients and test-retest values proved that PRCPS is a reliable measurement tool. The scale can be used both in evaluating how parents react to their children’s positive emotions and in research dealing with developmental and family studies. It has also been proposed to use the scale in educational research to examine the reflection of parents' reactions to positive emotions of children in the school and classroom environment.
