Bu çalışmanın amacı, bireycilik ve toplulukçuluk kavramlarının yakın ilişkileri anlamada yetersiz kalması nedeniyle bu ilişkilerin daha iyi anlaşılmasını sağlayacak ilişkisel benlik kavramını ölçen RISC ölçeğinin (Cross, Bacon, & Morris, 2000) Türkçe’ye kazandırılmasıdır. Ölçek geçerleme çalışması kapsamında, ilişkisel benliğin psikometrik özelliklerini değerlendirmek için üç farklı öğrenci örnekleminden, toplamda 505 kişiye ulaşılmıştır. Veriler üzerinde keşfedici, doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri ve test-tekrar test analizleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Bulgular orijinalde tek faktörlü olarak önerilen ilişkisel benlik ölçeğinin iki faktörlü (özdeşleşme ve yansıma) bir yapıda Türkçe’ye uygunluğunu ifade etmektedir. Bu bulguların teorik önemi ve etkileri geçmiş yazın ışığında tartışılmaktadır

VALIDATION OF RELATIONAL-INTERDEPENDENCE SCALE IN TURKISH CONTEXT

Öz

The purpose of the present study is to validate the Turkish version of the relational-interdependent self scale (Cross et al., 2000) which provides a better understanding of close relationships relative to individualism and collectivism constructs. In order to validate the psychometric properties of the scale, we collected data from three different student samples composed of 505 participants in total. Explanatory and confirmatory factor analyses and test-retest reliability analysis were conducted. Our findings indicate that contrary to the one-factor solution of the original relational-interdependent self scale, two factor structure (labeled as identification and reflection) appears to provide a better fit to the Turkish context. Theoretical implications of this finding are discussed in light of previous research
