Ergenler İçin Performans Başarısızlığını Değerlendirme Envanteri: Türkçe Uyarlama Çalışması

Öz

Bu araştırmanın amacı, Performans Başarısızlığını Değerlendirme Envanteri’ni (PBDE) Türkçeye uyarlamak ve lise öğrencileri üzerinde geçerlik ve güvenirlik kanıtlarını incelemektir. Tarama modelinde yürütülen araştırmanın çalışma grubunu Ankara’daki Anadolu liselerinde öğrenim gören, 15-18 yaş aralığındaki 379 öğrenci oluşturmuştur. Özgün formu 25 madde ve beş alt boyuttan oluşan envanterin çeviri süreci uzman görüşleriyle tamamlanmış, maddeler beşli Likert biçiminde düzenlenmiştir. Yapı geçerliği doğrulayıcı faktör analiziyle, yakınsak geçerlik ise açıklanan ortalama varyans değerleriyle incelenmiştir. Güvenirlik analizlerinde Cronbach’s alfa, McDonald’s omega, bileşik güvenirlik ve düzeltilmiş madde-toplam korelasyonları kullanılmıştır. Bulgular, envanterin özgün beş faktörlü yapısının Türkçe formda doğrulandığını göstermiştir. Uyum indeksleri kabul edilebilir düzeyde bulunmuş, maddelerin standartlaştırılmış faktör yükleri ,37 ile ,86 arasında değişmiştir. Envanterin tamamı için Cronbach’s alfa ve McDonald’s omega katsayıları ,94 olarak hesaplanmış, alt boyutlara ilişkin katsayılar ,71 ile ,90 arasında bulunmuştur. Bileşik güvenirlik ve yakınsak geçerlik bulguları da ölçme modelini desteklemiştir. Cinsiyete göre ölçme değişmezliği analizleri, envanterin ikinci düzey ölçme yapısının kız ve erkek öğrenciler arasında değişmezliğine ilişkin destekleyici kanıt sunmuştur. Sonuç olarak PBDE Türkçe formunun ergenlerde başarısızlık korkusunu çok boyutlu biçimde değerlendirmede kullanılabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu belirlenmiştir.

Performance Failure Appraisal Inventory for Adolescents: Turkish Adaptation Study

Öz

This study aimed to adapt the Performance Failure Appraisal Inventory (PFAI) into Turkish and examine evidence of its validity and reliability among high school students. Designed as a survey study, the research included 379 students aged 15–18 attending Anatolian high schools in Ankara. The original inventory contains 25 items across five dimensions. Following translation and expert review, the items were arranged in a five-point Likert format. Construct validity was examined through confirmatory factor analysis, whereas convergent validity was assessed using average variance extracted values. Reliability analyses included Cronbach’s alpha, McDonald’s omega, composite reliability, and corrected item-total correlations. Findings confirmed the original five-factor structure in the Turkish form. Model fit indices were acceptable, and standardized factor loadings ranged from .37 to .86. Cronbach’s alpha and McDonald’s omega were both .94 for the total scale, while coefficients for the subdimensions ranged from .71 to .90. Composite reliability and convergent validity findings also supported the measurement model. Measurement invariance analyses across gender provided supportive evidence that the second-order measurement structure of the inventory operated similarly for female and male students. Overall, the Turkish PFAI was found to be a valid and reliable instrument for assessing fear of failure multidimensionally among adolescents in educational and research settings.
