Bu çalışmada Ait Olma İhtiyacı Ölçeği’nin (AOİÖ) Türkçeye uyarlanması ve psikometrik özelliklerinin Türkiye örnekleminde incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla iki farklı çalışma yürütülmüştür. Birinci çalışmada ölçeğin faktör yapısı incelenerek geçerlik ve güvenirlik analizleri yapılmıştır. Birinci çalışmanın örneklemini 453 üniversite öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Ait Olma İhtiyacı Ölçeği’nin yakın bir kavram olan genel aidiyet ile teorik olarak ilişkili ancak konsept olarak farklı bir ölçme aracı olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca ait olma ihtiyacının görmezden gelinme, kişiliğin duygusal tutarsızlık, uyumluluk boyutları ile pozitif yönde dışadönüklük ile ise negatif yönde anlamlı ilişkili olduğu tespit edilmiştir. İkinci çalışmada ise ölçeğin birinci çalışmada elde edilen faktör yapısına ilişkin doğrulayıcı faktör analizi yürütülmüştür. İkinci çalışmanın örneklemi ise 347 üniversite öğrencisinden oluşmaktadır. Ait Olma İhtiyacı Ölçeği’nin Türkçe formunun ölçeğin orijinal çalışmasına benzer şekilde tek faktörlü bir yapıya sahip olduğu ve psikometrik özelliklerinin yeterli olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Her iki çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlar Ait Olma İhtiyacı Ölçeği’nin psikometrik özelliklerinin Türkiye popülasyonu için kabul edilebilir olduğunu göstermiştir.

PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES OF THE TURKISH FORM OF THE NEED TO BELONG SCALE

Öz

This study aimed to adapt the Need to Belong Scale (NBS) into Turkish and evaluate its psychometric properties in a Turkish population. For this purpose, two separate studies were conducted. In the first study, involving 453 university students, the factor structure of the scale was examined, and its validity and reliability were assessed. The Need to Belong Scale was found to be theoretically related to general belongingness, a similar construct, yet conceptually distinct as a measurement tool. Furthermore, it was discovered that the need to belong was significantly and positively associated with being ignored, neuroticism, and agreeableness, while it was negatively related to extraversion. In the second study, which included 347 university students, confirmatory factor analysis was used to test the factor structure identified in the first study. Results indicated that the Turkish version of the Need to Belong Scale retained the single-factor structure of the original scale and demonstrated satisfactory psychometric properties. The findings from both studies indicated that the Need to Belong Scale's psychometric properties were appropriate for the Turkish population.
