Abstract

The purpose of the present research was to implement Turkish adaptation, validity, and reliability studies of “Interpersonal Sexual Objectification Scale” (Kozee, Tylka, Augustus-Horvarth & Denchik, 2007) developed to measure the level of sexual objectification in women. The research sample consisted of 589 female university students from different faculties of Mersin University. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed, and correlations between sub-factors were examined, to provide evidence for the construct validity of the scale. Results obtained from CFA and values of correlations between sub-factors showed that the scale had adequate construct validity. With the intent of determining the reliability of the scale, Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency, item total test correlation, and test re-test coefficients were calculated. Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated as .90, test re-test coefficient was calculated as .85. Item total test correlation coefficients were determined to vary between .43 and .78. These findings were discussed in the context of the relevant literature.
