Öz

Bu çalışmada, Kendini Saklama Ölçeği’nin (KSÖ), Türkçeye uyarlanması, ölçeğin geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmaları yapılmıştır. Araştırma grubu 2006–2007 öğretim yılında Gazi Üniversitesi Gazi Eğitim Fakültesinde öğrenim gören 248 öğrenciden oluşmaktadır. 10 maddeli 5’li Likert tipi olan bu ölçeğin yapı geçerliği faktör analizi ile saptanmıştır. Yapılan ölçüt geçerliği çalışmasında ise KSÖ ile Kendini Açma Ölçeği arasında anlamlı bir ilişki bulunmuştur (r = -.25). Ölçeğin Cronbach alpha güvenirlik katsayısı .82; test-tekrar test güvenirlik katsayısı r = .72 ve madde toplam korelasyonları ise .25 ile .66 arasında bulunmuştur. Analizler sonucunda, KSÖ’nün üniversite öğrencilerinin kendini saklama düzeylerini belirlemede geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçek olduğuna karar verilmiştir.

ADAPTATION OF SELF CONCEALMENT SCALE TO THE TURK CULTURE: IT’S RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY

Öz

This study investigates the reliability and validity of the Turkish adaptation of “Self Concealment Scale” (SCS). The sample consisted of 248 undergraduates from the Faculty of Education, Gazi University. There were 10 five-point Likert type items. The construct validity of SCS was examined by factor analysis. There was a significant relationship between scores on SCS and Self Disclosure Scale (r = -.25) to test criteria validity. Cronbach alpha coefficient was .82; test-retest correlation coefficient was r = .72. Item-total correlations coefficiencies were .25-.66. Considering reliability and validity study results, it can be concluded that SCS was a valid and reliable instrument.
