The Validity and Reliability of Propensity to Trust Scale

Öz:

In this study, it is aimed to assess the validity and reliability of propensity to trust scale developed byFrazier, Johnson, & Fainshmidt (2013) by adapting to Turkish. In this regard, explanatory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis, item analysis, internal consistency coefficients, and validity analysesare conducted with the data obtained from two different samples comprised of students (n = 287) andemployees (n = 323) in Turkey. According to this, explanatory factor analysis results showed singlefactor consrtuct of the scale. Moreover, confirmatory factor analysis findings also revelaed single factorconstruct 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 scaleis reliable. Regarding the validity of the scale discriminant validity, convergent validity, and criterionrelated validity related assessments revealed the validity of the scale. The results of explanatory factoranalysis, confirmatory factor analysis, validity, and reliability analyses findings revealed that Turkishversion of propensity to trust scale is a valid and reliable instrument to use in studies in Turkey.

Güven Eğilimi Ölçeğinin Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Analizi

Öz:

Bu çalışmada, Frazier, Johnson, & Fainshmidt (2013) tarafından geliştirilmiş olan güven eğilimi ölçeğinin Türkçe’ye uyarlanarak geçerlik ve güvenirliğinin incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda Türkiye’de öğrenciler (n = 287) ve çalışanlardan (n = 323) oluşan iki farklı örneklemden elde edilen veri ile açıklayıcı faktör analizi, doğrulayıcı faktör analizi, iç tutarlılık katsayıları ve geçerlik analizleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Buna göre yapılan açıklayıcı faktör analizi sonuçları ölçeğin tek faktörlü bir yapısı olduğunu göstermiştir. Ayrıca gerçekleştirilmiş olan doğrulayıcı faktör analizi bulguları da ölçeğin tek faktörlü bir yapısı olduğunu ortaya koymuştur (χ2 /sd = 1.345; p = .261; CFI = .999; TLI = .998; IFI = .999; RMSEA = .033; SRMR= .008). Güvenirlik analizleri bulguları ise alfa ve omega katsayılarının ölçeğin güvenilir olduğuna işaret ettiğini belirlemiştir. Ölçeğin geçerliğine yönelik olarak gerçekleştirilen ayrışma geçerliği, birleşme geçerliği ve ölçüt bağımlı geçerliğe yönelik değerlendirmeler ise ölçeğin geçerliğini ortaya koymuştur. Yapılan açıklayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri ile geçerlilik ve güvenirlik analizlerinin sonucunda elde edilen bulgular güven eğilimi ölçeğinin geçerli ve güvenilir olarak değerlendirilebileceğini ortaya koymakta olup Türkiye’de yapılacak olan araştırmalarda kullanılabileceğini göstermektedir.
