Abstract

The purpose of this study is to adapt the “Self-Efficacy in Romantic Relationships Scale”, which was developed by Riggio and Weiser, Valenzuela, Lui, Montes and Heur (2011), into Turkish culture and conduct its validity and reliability study. The study was carried out with a total of 367 students (243 girls and 124 boys), including senior students attending various departments and receiving pedagogical formation education in Dokuz Eylul University Faculty of Education. The two-factor structure of the SERRS was tested with confirmatory factor analysis method. The results showed that the two-factor structure of the SERRS was confirmed. The language validity of the scale was also examined. In addition, “General Self-Efficacy Scale” was used as criterion to determine the concurrent validity of the scale. The reliability of the SERRS was calculated with test-retest reliability coefficient and internal consistency coefficient methods. The results show that the SERRS can be used as a valid and reliable measurement tool.

Özet

Bu araştırmanın amacı, Riggio ve Weiser, Valenzuela, Lui, Montes ve Heur (2011) tarafından geliştirilen “Romantik İlişkilerde Öz Yeterlik Ölçeği”ni (RİÖYÖ) Türk kültürüne uyarlayarak, geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışmasını yapmaktır. Araştırma, Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi’nde Eğitim Fakültesi’nin çeşitli bölümlerine devam eden lisans 4. sınıf öğrencileri ile pedagojik formasyon eğitimi alan 243’ü kız ve 124’ü erkek olmak üzere toplam 367 kişi ile yürütülmüştür. RİÖYÖ’nin iki faktörlü yapısı doğrulayıcı faktör analizi yöntemi ile test edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, RİÖYÖ’nin iki faktörlü yapısının doğrulandığını göstermiştir. Bununla birlikte ölçeğin dil geçerliği de incelenmiştir. Ayrıca ölçeğin benzer ölçek geçerliğini belirlemek için “Genel Öz Yeterlik Ölçeği” ölçüt olarak kullanılmıştır Ölçeğin güvenirlik çalışması, test-tekrar test güvenirlik katsayısı ve iç tutarlılık katsayısı ile hesaplanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar, RİÖYÖ’nin geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olarak kullanılabileceğini göstermektedir.
