WARWICK-EDINBURGH MENTAL İYİ OLUŞ ÖLÇEĞİ KISA FORMU’NUN TÜRKÇE’YE UYARLANMASI: GEÇERLİK VE GÜVENİRLİK ÇALIŞMASI
Öz
Bireylerin ve toplumların gelişmesine etki eden faktörlerin keşfedilmesi için insan işlevselliğini en üst düzeye çıkaran pozitif psikolojinin temel amacı iyi oluşu anlamak ve arttırmaktır. Pozitif psikolojinin temel kavramlarından birisi olan iyi oluş, bireylerin yaşam kalitesi üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahip olduğu için araştırmacıların büyük ilgisini çekmiştir. Bu çalışmanın amacı Tennant ve arkadaşları (2007) tarafından geliştirilen Warwick-Edinburgh Mental İyi Oluş Ölçeği Kısa Formu’nun (WEMİOÖ-KF) Türk üniversite öğrencileri üzerinde psikometrik özelliklerini incelemektir. Ölçeğin geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışması farklı iki çalışma grubu üzerinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırma, birinci çalışma grubunda 138 öğrenci (x= 20.68, Ss = 1.97), ikinci çalışma grubunda 256 öğrenci (x =24.088, Ss = 5.94) olmak üzere toplam 394 üniversite öğrencisi üzerinde yürütülmüştür. Ölçeğin psikometrik özellikleri; doğrulayıcı faktör analizi, ölçüt bağıntılı geçerlik ve içtutarlık yöntemleriyle incelenmiştir. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliği için uygulanan doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonuçları, tüm t değerlerinin anlamlı olduğunu ve modelin iyi uyum değerlerine sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Ölçüt bağıntılı geçerlik için Oxford Mutluluk Ölçeği Kısa Formu (OMÖ-K), Sürekli Umut Ölçeği (SUÖ) ve Algılanan Stres Ölçeği (ASÖ) kullanılmıştır. Ölçeğin, OMÖ-K ve SUÖ ile yüksek düzeyde olumlu yönde anlamlı ilişkilere, ASÖ ile ise negatif yönde orta düzeyde anlamlı ilişkiye sahip olduğu ortaya çıkmıştır. Cronbach alfa iç tutarlılık güvenirlik katsayıları birinci çalışma grubu için .84 ikinci çalışma grubu için .86 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Sonuç olarak araştırma bulguları, WEMİOÖ-KF’nin Türk üniversite öğrencilerinin mental iyi oluş düzeylerini ölçmede kullanılabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğunu göstermektedir.
