Adaptation of The Food Neophobia Scale Into Turkish: Validity and Reliability Study
Öz
Objective: This study was conducted so at to verify the validity and reliability of “Food Neophobia Scale (FNS)” scale in Turkish.
Methods: The study was conducted on a total of 195 individuals (46.2% is male, 53.8% is female) aged between 19 and 64 (38.6±13.51) who accepted to voluntarily participate in the study in Ankara. While the demographical characteristics of the patients were questioned in the first stage, the 10-item FNS form having been translated into Turkish was used.
Results: In the study, the existence of sufficient correlation among the items in the scale and the adequacy of sample size was examined; it was determined that the sample size was sufficient (KMO=0.78) and there was a sufficient relationship between the items for factor analyzes (χ2=142.502; p<0.05). In the assessment of fit of the scale, good fit cover index of χ2 was used and consequently the scale was found to have a good fit. The Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient was found to be as 0.614 for the integrity of FNS. The Adjusted Goodness of Fit Index (AGFI) was found to be 0.92. The fact that this value is over 0.90 proves the model to have a good fit.
Conclusion: The findings being acquired as a result of the all statistical analyzes have shown that the FNS adapted to Turkish is a reliable and valid measuring tool which can be used in Turkey. It is thought that FNS adapted to Turkish can contribute to the studies for research of food neophobia.
