Abstract

The Teenage Executive Functioning Inventory (TEXI) is a widely used instrument to measure teenage executive function. The present study was aimed to examine the psychometric properties of a Turkish version of the TEXI (TEXI-TR). For this purpose, a total of 387 participants between the ages of 12 and 17, 226 (58%) females and 161 (42%) males, were recruited. Besides the TEXI, the Conners-Wells Adolescent Self-Report Scale (CASS-S), the Cognitive Flexibility Scale (CFS) and the Barratt Impulsiveness Scale (BIS) were completed by the participants. A confirmatory factor analysis showed that the goodness-of-fit indices for the TEXI-TR were at an acceptable level (χ2(165, N = 387) = 386.038, χ2/sd = 2.340, RMSEA = 0.059, CFI = 0.90) and the factor structure consisted of two factors (inhibition and working memory) as in the original scale. The scale had a positive relationship with CASS-S (r = .65, p < .01), BIS (r = .61, p < .01), and a negative relationship with CFS (r = -.56, p < .01). Cronbach’s alpha coefficients of the TEXI-TR subscales were .79 and .83 for the inhibition and the working memory sub-scale, respectively. The findings of the current study revealed that the TEXI-TR can be used as a valid and reliable instrument to measure teenage executive function.

Özet

Ergen Yürütücü İşlevler Envanteri (EYİE), ergenlerin yürütücü işlevlerini değerlendirmede yaygın olarak kullanılan bir değerlendirme aracıdır. Bu çalışmada, Ergen Yürütücü İşlevler Envanterinin Türkçe formunun (EYİE-TR) psikometrik özellikleri incelenmiştir. Bu amaçla 12-17 yaş arasında 226 (%58) kadın ve 161 (%42) erkek olmak üzere toplam 387 kişi çalışmaya katılmıştır. Katılımcılar, EYİE-TR’nin yanı sıra Conners-Wells Ergen Öz-bildirim Ölçeği (C-WEÖÖ-K), Bilişsel Esneklik Ölçeği (BEÖ) ve Barratt Dürtüsellik Ölçeğini (BDÖ-11) yanıtlamışlardır. Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi (DFA) sonuçları uyum iyiliği indekslerinin kabul edilebilir düzeyde olduğunu (χ2(165, N = 387) = 386.038, χ2/sd = 2.340, RMSEA= 0.059, CFI = 0.90) ve Türkçe formun orijinal ölçekte olduğu gibi iki faktörlü (ketleme ve çalışma belleği) yapıdan oluştuğunu göstermiştir. EYİE-TR’nin C-WEÖÖ-K (r = .65, p < .01) ve BDÖ-11 (r = .61, p < .01) ile pozitif yönde; BEÖ (r = -.56, p < .01) ile negatif yönde anlamlı ilişkisi olduğu belirlenmiştir. EYİE-TR’nin Cronbach alfa değerleri ketleme ve çalışma belleği alt boyutları için sırası ile .79 ve. 83 olarak belirlenmiştir. Mevcut araştırma sonuçları EYİE-TR’nin ergen yürütücü işlevlerini değerlendirmede geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu göstermektedir.
