Abstract

The involvement of robots in people's lives causes concerns about how human-robot interaction can be achieved. In this study, it is aimed to obtain the Turkish version of Robot Anxiety Scale. The data obtained from university students were analyzed by explanatory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis. 11 items in the scale were divided into three factors. According to the confirmatory factor analysis, the fit index values of the model were acceptable. This study shows that the Turkish version of the scale has discriminant validity, and the scale is a reliable and valid measurement tool that may help to understand how effective the design and properties of robots to be used in Turkish culture.

Özet

Robotların insanların hayatında yer alması insan-robot etkileşiminin nasıl sağlanacağına dair endişelere sebep olmaktadır. Bu çalışmada ise Robot Kaygısı Ölçeğinin Türkçe versiyonunun elde edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Üniversite öğrencilerinden elde edilen veriler açıklayıcı faktör analizi ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ile incelenmiştir. Ölçekte bulunan 11 madde üç faktöre bölünmüştür. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucuna göre modelin uyum indeksi değerleri kabul edilebilir seviyededir. Bu çalışma, elde edilen ölçeğin Türkçe versiyonunun ayırıcı geçerliliğe sahip olan güvenilir ve geçerli bir ölçüm aracı olmasından ve Türk kültüründe kullanılması planlanan robotların dizaynlarının ve özelliklerinin ne derece etkin olabileceğini anlamaya yardım edeceğinden dolayı önemlidir.
