A Study of Multidimensional Submissiveness Scale
Öz
Submissive behaviour refers to individuals’ changing their value judgments, their thoughts and their views in the direction that the authority directs to. Submissive Behavior Scale (SBS) was developed by Gilbert et al. in 1991 and was finalized in 1994 (1994: 295-306). When the scale was formed, the studies of Buss and Claik (1986) on submissive behaviours were used. The scale was adapted to Turkish by Nesrin H. Şahin and Nail Şahin in 1992. The scale, which is in the form of a questionnaire, can be administered to adolescents and adults individually or collectively. The aim of this study is to develop a new scale that can be used to assess the submissive attitude of today. In this framework, depending on the intensities (frequency of behaviours) resulting from the data to be obtained, the dimensions of the submissive attitude will be identified. It was planned to determine which elements in individuals’ submission levels played a major role through this scale. First, exploratory factor analysis was used to describe subscales and a four-dimensional scale (N1=368) was developed. Four factors explained 52.82% of the total variance. Then the scale was applied to another sample (N2=457) for confirmatory factor analysis. The score was 266.49 (df= 98) with the ratio having a value of 2.72.The goodness of fit indexes are CFI=0.93; GFI=0.93; NFI=0.90; RMSEA=0.061. These values indicate that the four-factor structure of the scale have a reasonably satisfactory goodness of fit. A significant and positive correlation between Multidimensional Submissiveness Scale and Submissive Behaviour Scale was observed. Finally, it was found that Multidimensional Submissiveness Scale is a reliable and valid measure and can be a helpful measure for the researcher to understand submissive behaviours.
