Karmaşık Soyut Ötesi Düşünme Ölçeğini Uyarlama Çalışması

Öz

Soyut işlem döneminden sonra ortaya çıktığı kabul edilen soyut ötesi düşünme, yetişkinlerin soyut işlemler döneminden farklı olarak düşündüğünü ifade etmektedir. Soyut işlemler dönemiyle karşılaştırıldığında bu düşünme türünün daha karmaşık, dinamik, esnek ve bağlamsal temelli olduğu bulunmuştur. Bu doğrultuda araştırmanın amacı son zamanlarda kavramsallaştırılan soyut ötesi düşünmeyi ölçmek için Karmaşık Soyut Ötesi Düşünme Ölçeğini Türkçeye uyarlamaktır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu 161 lisans öğrencisinden oluşmaktadır. Yapılan analiz sonucunda ölçeğin kabul edilebilir güvenilirlik katsayısına sahip olduğu (α =.88); madde toplam korelasyonlarının ise .35 ile .71 arasında değiştiği görülmüştür. Karmaşık Soyut Ötesi Düşünme Ölçeğinin ölçüt geçerliliği için kullanılan Biliş İhtiyacı Ölçeği ile pozitif yönde anlamlı bir korelasyona sahip olduğu bulunmuştur. Sonuç olarak ölçeğinin geçerli ve güvenilir olduğu görülmüştür.

A Study of Adapting the Complex Postformal Thought Scale

Öz

Postformal thought, which is accepted to emerge after the formal processing period, expresses that adults think differently from the formal processing period. Compared to the period of formal operations, this type of thought is more complex, dynamic, flexible and context-based. Accordingly, the aim of the research is to adapt the Complex Postformal Thought Scale to Turkish to measure the postformal thought that has recently been conceptualized. The study group of the research consists of 161 undergraduate students. As a result of the analysis, the scale has an acceptable reliability coefficient (α = 88); item total correlations were found to vary between .35 and .71. It was found that Complex Postformal Thought Scale has a statistically significant positive correlation with the Cognitive Need Scale scale used for criterion validity. As a result, the scale was found to be valid and reliable.
