In this study, it was aimed to develop a new, valid and reliable measurement tool to measure general earthquake anxiety (EAS). For this purpose, firstly, the literature on earthquake was reviewed and an item pool was created. Then, two separate samples were taken for EFA and CFA. In order to determine the factor structure of the measurement tool, EFA was applied on the data obtained from the first sample group and a structure with 2 factors and 13 items was reached. In order to test the accuracy of this structure, data were collected from a different sample group and CFA was applied on these data. The results revealed that the scale has evidence of construct validity, discriminant validity and internal consistency reliability. In addition, earthquake anxiety scale items can be used to assess anxiety levels in different age groups.

Öz

Bu araştırmada genel deprem kaygısını ölçmeye yarayacak yeni, geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda öncelikle deprem konusunda literatür taranarak madde havuzu oluşturulmuştur. Daha sonra AFA ve DFA için iki ayrı örneklem alma yoluna gidilmiştir. Ölçme aracının faktör yapısını belirlemek adına ilk örneklem grubundan alınan veriler üzerinde AFA uygulanmış ve 2 faktörlü 13 maddeli bir yapıya ulaşılmıştır. Bu yapının doğruluğunu test etmek üzere farklı bir örneklem grubundan veri toplanmış ve bu veriler üzerinde DFA uygulanmıştır. Sonuçlar, ölçeğin yapı geçerliği, ayırt edicilik geçerliği ve iç tutarlık güvenirliğine ilişkin kanıtlara sahip olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Ayrıca deprem kaygısı ölçeği maddeleri farklı yaş gruplarında kaygı düzeylerini değerlendirmek için kullanılabilir.
