Bu çalışmada, Burger (1995) tarafından geliştirilmiş olan Tek Başına Olmayı Tercih Etme Ölçeğinin Türkçeye çevrilmesi ve üniversite öğrencilerinden elde edilen veri setlerinin geçerlik ve güvenirliğinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Ölçeğin geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmaları iki farklı katılımcı grup üzerinde yürütülmüştür. İlk grup 245 (%24.1 erkek, %75.9 kadın), ikinci grup 470 (%30.2 erkek, %69.8 kadın) üniversite öğrencisinden oluşmaktadır. İki katılımcı grubu üzerinde gerçekleştirilen doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonuçlarına göre, ölçeğin Türkçe Formu orijinal ölçek çalışmasında olduğu gibi 12 maddeden ve tek faktörden oluşmaktadır. Gerçekleştirilen güvenirlik çalışma-larına göre ise, ölçeğin Türkçe Formu kabul edilebilir düzey-lerde iç-tutarlık katsayılarına ve testi yarılama güvenirlik değe-rine sahiptir.

Preference for Solitude Scale: Validity and Reliability Study of the Turkish Form

Öz

In this study, it was aimed to translate Preference for Soli-tude Scale developed by Burger (1995) into Turkish and to investigate validity and reliability of the data collected from university students. The validity and reliability studies of the scale was carried out on two different participant groups. The first group was composed of 245 (24.1% male and 75.9% female) and the second group was consisted of 470 (30.2% male and 69.8% female) university students. The results of confirmatory factor analyses in two separate studies showed that the Turkish Form of the scale was composed of 12 items and one dimension as in the original form. According to the reliability studies performed, the Turkish Form of the scale has acceptable internal consistency coefficients and split-half relia-bility.
