İçsel Psikolojik Dayanıklılık Ölçeği’nin Türkçe Uyarlaması: Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

Öz

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı, bireysel dayanıklılığı güncel sosyo-ekolojik yaklaşımlarla uyumlu biçimde, içsel psikolojik kaynaklar temelinde değerlendirmeyi hedefleyen İçsel Psikolojik Dayanıklılık Ölçeği’nin (İPDÖ) Türkçeye uyarlanması ve ölçeğin geçerlik ve güvenirlik özelliklerinin incelenmesidir. Yöntem: Araştırma, kültürleşme bağlamında yer alan yetişkin bireylerden oluşan bir örneklemle yürütülmüştür. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliği Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi ile değerlendirilmiş; güvenirlik analizleri kapsamında Cronbach alfa iç tutarlık katsayıları hesaplanmıştır. Ölçüt bağıntılı geçerlik, İPDÖ puanları ile yaşam doyumu ve psikolojik iyi oluş arasındaki ilişkiler üzerinden incelenmiştir. Bulgular: Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi sonuçları, İPDÖ’nün tek boyutlu orijinal yapısının Türkçe formda doğrulandığını ve modelin kabul edilebilir düzeyde uyum gösterdiğini ortaya koymuştur (χ²/sd = 2,554, CFI = ,944, RMSEA = ,063, SRMR = ,043). Cinsiyet ve kültürel geçmiş grupları arasında ölçüm değişmezliğinin sağlandığı belirlenmiştir. Ölçeğin iç tutarlığı iyi düzeyde bulunmuş (Cronbach alfa = ,88) ve İPDÖ puanlarının yaşam doyumu (r = ,34, p < ,001) ile psikolojik iyi oluş (r = ,60, p < ,001) arasında pozitif yönlü, orta düzeyde ve anlamlı ilişkiler gösterdiği saptanmıştır. Sonuç: İPDÖ Türkçe formu, bireysel dayanıklılığı içsel psikolojik kaynaklar temelinde değerlendiren geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracıdır. Bulgular, ölçeğin kültürel çeşitliliğin söz konusu olduğu bağlamlarda içsel dayanıklılık bileşenini tutarlı biçimde ölçebildiğini göstermektedir.

Turkish Adaptation of the Rugged Resilience Measure: A Validity and Reliability Study

Öz

Objective: The aim of this study was to adapt the Rugged Resilience Measure (RRM), developed to assess resilience through internal psychological resources in line with contemporary socio-ecological approaches, into Turkish and to examine its validity and reliability. Method: The study was conducted with an adult sample within an acculturation context. Construct validity was examined using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA). Reliability was assessed using Cronbach’s alpha coefficients. Criterion-related validity was evaluated by examining the associations between RRM scores and measures of life satisfaction and psychological well-being. Results: Confirmatory Factor Analysis supported the original one-factor structure of the Turkish version of the RRM and indicated an acceptable model fit (χ²/df = 2.554, CFI = .944, RMSEA = .063, SRMR = .043). Measurement invariance was supported across gender and cultural background groups. The scale demonstrated good internal consistency (Cronbach's α = .88). In addition, RRM scores were positively and moderately associated with life satisfaction (r = .34, p < .001) and psychological well-being (r = .60, p < .001). Conclusion: The Turkish version of the Rugged Resilience Measure (RRM) is a valid and reliable instrument for assessing individual resilience based on internal psychological resources. The findings indicate that the scale consistently measures the internal component of resilience in culturally diverse contexts.
