Turkish Adaptation of Spiral of Silence Scale: The Study of Reliability and Validity

Öz

People need a reconciliation on their attitudes, behaviors, values and aims, and the conciliation happens when it is public. In this context, the spiral of silence scale is a scale that measures the power and effectiveness of the public. The aim of the study is to measure the validity and reliability of the spiral of slience scale effective study in Turkey. In this study, 421 health employees working in Hospitals in Ankara were interviewed. The scale has three sub-dimensions; namely, avoidance of expressing opinions, participation in the expressed opinion and the fear of being excluded sub-dimensions. The total variance of the three sub-dimensions was 74.207% and the Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was 0.641. According to our results, Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficients are acceptable for the Turkish version of the scale and the subscales. The results on the EFA and the CFA performed for the construct validity support the three-factor model as the model of the original scale. Confirmatory factor analysis results were found to be between good fit and acceptable variables. According to the correlation analysis, there are significant relationships among the scale and the subscales. The significance of correlation coefficient values found among the scale and the subscales is interpreted as that the subscales measure similar constructs. At the end of the statistical analysis, it is concluded that the three-dimensional structure of the original scale is appropriate for Turkish culture.
