The Validity and Reliability of the Turkish Pet Attitude Scale
Öz: Objective: This study tests the Turkish validity and reliability of the Pet Attitude
Scale (PAS) and adapt it to Turkish society.
Materials and Methods: The study population consisted of students in the
departments of health at a university in Western Turkey. No sampling method was
used; and the entire population was included in the study. Data were collected
using a questionnaire on the participants’ sociodemographic characteristics and the
PAS, which consisted of 18 items scored between 1 and 7 under three factors: love
and interaction, pets in the home, and joy of pet ownership. The construct validity
of the scale was evaluated by Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory
Factor Analysis (CFA). The reliability of the PAS was assessed by Cronbach’s alpha
internal consistency coefficient, the item-total correlation, and the test-retest
analysis.
Results: The scale factors’ Cronbach’s alpha reliability coefficient ranged between
0.45 and 0.92, the items’ factor loads ranged between 0.51 and 0.85, and the total
item correlation coefficients ranged between 0.31 and 0.77. The CFA supported the
three-factor structure yielded by the EFA and showed good fit indices.
Conclusion: The scale was reliable for Turkish society compared to the original PAS.
The factor structure resembled the results of a reevaluation of PAS. Thus, it can be
suggested that the PAS is valid and reliable for application in Turkish society.
Anahtar Kelime: Türkçe Evcil Hayvan Tutum Ölçeğinin Geçerlik ve Güvenirliği
Öz: Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı Pet Tutum Ölçeği’nin (PTÖ) Türkçe geçerlik ve
güvenirliğini test etmek ve Türk toplumuna uyarlamaktır.
Gereç ve Yöntemler: Araştırmanın evrenini Batı Türkiye’deki bir üniversitenin
sağlık bölümlerinde okuyan öğrenciler oluşturdu. Örnekleme yöntemi kullanılmadı
ve tüm popülasyon çalışmaya dahil edildi. Veriler, katılımcıların sosyo-demografik
özelliklerine ilişkin bir anket ve 1 ile 7 arasında puanlanan 18 maddeden oluşan
Evcil Hayvan Tutum Ölçeği kullanılarak üç faktör altında toplanmıştır: sevgi ve
etkileşim, evde evcil hayvanlar ve evcil hayvan sahiplenme sevinci. Yapı geçerliği
ölçeğin özellikleri açımlayıcı faktör analizi (AFA) ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi
(DFA) ile değerlendirilmiştir. Evcil hayvan tutum ölçeğinin güvenirliği Cronbach
alfa iç tutarlılık katsayısı, madde-toplam korelasyonu ve test-tekrar test analizi ile
değerlendirilmiştir Bulgular: Ölçek faktörlerinin Cronbach alfa güvenirlik katsayısı 0,45-0,92, maddelerin faktör yükleri 0,51-0,85 ve toplam madde
korelasyon katsayıları 0,31-0,77 arasında değişmektedir. DFA, AFA tarafından elde edilen üç faktörlü yapıyı destekledi ve iyi uyum
indeksleri gösterdi.
Sonuç: Ölçek, orijinal PTÖ ile karşılaştırıldığında Türk toplumu için güvenilirdi. Faktör yapısı, PTÖ’nün yeniden değerlendirilmesinin
sonuçlarına benziyordu. Böylece evcil hayvan tutum ölçeğinin Türk toplumunda uygulanması için geçerli ve güvenilir olduğu
söylenebilir
