The Validity and Reliability of Propensity to Trust Scale

Abstract

In this study, it is aimed to assess the validity and reliability of propensity to trust scale developed by Frazier, Johnson, & Fainshmidt (2013) by adapting to Turkish. In this regard, explanatory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, item analysis, internal consistency coefficients, and validity analyses are conducted with the data obtained from two different samples comprised of students (n = 287) and employees (n = 323) in Turkey. According to this, explanatory factor analysis results showed single factor consrtuct of the scale. Moreover, confirmatory factor analysis findings also revelaed single factor construct of this scale (χ/sd = 1.345; p = .261; CFI = .999; TLI = .998; IFI = .999; RMSEA = .033; SRMR= .008). Reliability analyses results showed Alpha and Omega coefficients indicate that the scale is reliable. Regarding the validity of the scale discriminant validity, convergent validity, and criterion related validity related assessments revealed the validity of the scale. The results of explanatory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, validity, and reliability analyses findings revealed that Turkish version of propensity to trust scale is a valid and reliable instrument to use in studies in Turkey.
