Siber Zorbalık ve Siber Mağduriyet Ölçeklerinin Türkçeye Uyarlanması: Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışmaları

Öz

Bu araştırmanın amacı Türkçe uyarlaması gerçekleştirilen Siber Zorbalık ve Siber Mağduriyet ölçeklerinin yapı geçerlikleri ve güvenilirliklerinin incelenmesidir. Bu amaç doğrultusunda öncelikle ölçeklerin Türkçeye çeviri süreci tamamlanmış, daha sonra geçerlik ve güvenirlik analizleri yapılmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu 375’i (%65) kadın ve 204’ü (%35) erkek olmak üzere toplam 579 üniversite öğrencisinden oluşmaktadır. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonuçlarına göre, Siber Zorbalık Ölçeği Türkçe formunun toplam 17 madde ve 3 boyuttan oluştuğu, Siber Mağduriyet Ölçeği Türkçe formunun ise toplam 23 madde ve 4 boyuttan oluştuğu belirlenmiştir. Ölçeklerin güvenirlik düzeylerini belirlemek için iç tutarlılık katsayıları ve test tekrar test güvenirlik puanları incelenmiştir. Buna göre Siber Zorbalık Ölçeğinin alt boyutları ve toplam puanı için Cronbach alfa değerlerinin .74 ile .90, test tekrar test puanlarının ise .76 ile .82 arasında olduğu belirlenmiştir. Benzer olarak Siber Mağduriyet Ölçeğinin alt boyutlar ve toplam puanı için Cronbach alfa değerlerinin .83 ile .95, test-tekrar test puanlarının ise .74 ile .82 arasında olduğu görülmüştür. Bulgular ışığında, Siber Zorbalık ve Siber Mağduriyet ölçeklerinin kavramsal ve istatistiksel açıdan yapı geçerliliklerinin bulunduğu ve yüksek güvenirlik düzeyine sahip oldukları sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Adaptation of the Cyberbullying and Cyber Victimization Scales into Turkish: Validity and Reliability Studies

Öz

The main aim of this study is to examine the construct validity and reliability of the Cyberbullying and Cyber Victimization scales adapted into Turkish. For this purpose, firstly, the translation procedure of the scales into Turkish was completed, and then validity and reliability analyses were conducted. The study group consisted of 579 university students, 375 (65%) female and 204 (35%) male. The results of confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the Turkish form of the Cyberbullying Scale consisted of 17 items and a 3-dimensional structure, and the Turkish version of the Cyber Victimization Scale consisted of 23 items and a 4-dimensional structure. Internal consistency coefficients and test-retest reliability scores were also analyzed to determine the reliability of the scales. Consequently, the Cronbach alpha coefficients for internal consistency of the Cyber Bullying Scale sub-factors and total score ranged from .74 to .90, and the test-retest scores were between .76 and .82. Similarly, Cronbach's alpha values for the sub-dimensions and total score of the Cyber Victimization Scale were found to be between .83 and .95, and test-retest scores were between .74 and .82. The findings indicated that the total scores and sub-factors of the Cyberbullying and Victimization Scales is conceptually and statistically valid and highly reliable.
