Abstract

Even though the concept of empathy is a quite accepted concept in positive psychology and contemporary life, the number of up-to-date Turkish measurement instruments which have sufficient psychometric properties to measure the empathy level of individuals is limited. In this study, Turkish Adaptation of the Empathy Section Scale for Children (ESSC) developed by Auyeung et al. (2009) and application of validity-reliability studies were aimed. As a result of the scale-validity-reliability studies consisting of 27 items in the original form, the Turkish form has been changed into 14 items. The Cronbach alpha value of Turkish form of ESSC (Empathy Section Scale for Children) was calculated as 0.73; it was found out that psychometric properties were valid and reliable.

Özet

Empati kavramı pozitif psikolojide ve güncel hayatta oldukça kabul gören bir kavram olmasına karşın bireylerin empati düzeyini ölçmek için yeterli psikometrik özelliklere sahip güncel Türkçe ölçüm araçlarının sayısı sınırlıdır. Bu çalışmada Auyeung ve arkadaşları tarafından (2009) geliştirilen Çocuklar için Empati Bölümü Ölçeğinin Türkçeye uyarlanması ve geçerlik-güvenirlik çalışmalarının yapılması amaçlanmıştır. Orijinal formu 27 maddeden oluşan ölçek geçerlik güvenirlik çalışmaları neticesinde Türkçe formunda 14 maddelik nihai haline getirilmiştir. ÇEBÖ Türkçe formunun Cronbach alfa değeri .73 olarak hesaplanmış; psikometrik özelliklerinin geçerli ve güvenilir olduğu bulunmuştur.
