Abstract

Objective: The aim of the current study is to validate and test the psychometric properties of the Adolescent Egocentricism Scale in Turkish which can be used in certain studies carried out with adolescent and adult populations . Methods: The translation of the scale was carried out in five different steps. The resulting form was applied to three different samples (N1=547, N2=656, N3=155) totaling up to 1358 university students. For construct validity, confirmatory factor analysis was carried out. For convergent and discriminant validity, the Narcissism Scale, Inclusion of the Other to the Self Scale, Aggression Scale, and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were administered. For the reliability measures, internal reliability and test re-test reliability analyses were carried out. Results: As a result of the validity analyses, the original three factor structure (uniqueness, self-focus, imaginary audience) was kept. The relationships of the whole scale or of the subdimensions with similar of different structures were validated according to certain theoretical assumptions. As a result of the reliability analyses, the internal reliability of the whole scale was between 0.73 and 0.78, and the results of the test re-test reliability analyses were between 0.61-0.68. In addition, there were significant sex differences and significant differences in high and low scores of egocentricism. Conclusion: The results of the analyses revealed adequate proof for the validity and the reliability of the Turkish version of the scale and the results were discussed in light of the available literature.

Özet

Amaç: Bu çalışmanın amacı ergenlere ve yetişkinlere yönelik araştırmalarda kullanılabilecek Ergen Benmerkezcillik Ölçeğinin Türkçeye uyarlanması ve psikometrik özelliklerinin test edilmesidir. Yöntem: Ölçeğin Türkçeye çevirisi beş aşamada yapılmış, elde edilen form üç farklı örneklemde (N1=547, N2=656, N3=155) toplam1358 üniversite öğrencisine uygulanmıştır. Yapı geçerliliği için doğrulayıcı faktör analizi yapılmış, ayrıca Narsisizm Ölçeği, Benliğine Diğerlerini Dahil Etme Ölçeği, Saldırganlık Ölçeği, Öz Saygı Ölçeği kullanılarak yakınsama ve ıraksama geçerliliği test edilmiştir. Güvenilirlik için iç tutarlılık analizleri ile test-tekrar test analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: Geçerlilik analizleri sonucunda 10 madde kalan ölçeğin özgün yapısındaki üç farklı alt boyutun (eşsizlik, benlik odağı, hayali seyirci davranışı) korunduğu ve ölçeğin tamamının ve alt boyutlarının benzeşen veya farklılaşan yapılarla olan ilişkilerinin kuramsal varsayımlara uygun olduğu görülmüştür. Güvenilirlik analizleri sonuçlarında ise ölçeğin iç tutarlılık değerlerinin 0.73-0.78 arasında, test-tekrar test güvenilirlik değerlerinin ise 0.61-0.68 arasında olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca kadın ve erkekler ile benmerkezcilliği yüksek ve düşük kişiler arasında yapılan karşılaştırmaların anlamlı biçimde farklılaştığı bulunmuştur. Sonuç: Elde edilen tüm sonuçlar, ölçeğin Türkçe formunun geçerliliği ve güvenilirliği için yeterli kanıtlar sunmuş ve literatürdeki araştırma sonuçları ışığında tartışılmıştır.
