Abstract

Aim: Callous and unemotional traits such as the inability to make emotional communication, and the lack of feelings of guilt and empathy are frequently found in the young with antisocial manners, who are at increased risk for violent behavior in the future. We aimed to identify the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the "Inventory of Callous-Unemotional Traits-Youth Form" (ICU-TR).Materials and Methods: The ICU-TR was administered to 301 students, and only 250 completely filled out forms have been included in the study. One hundred students filled out the ICU-TR 3 weeks later for test-retest reliability. The factor structure of the scale has been studied with principle component analysis, and reliability measured with Cronbach's alpha. Pearson correlation is used for criterion-related validity and test-retest reliability.Results: The mean age of the cases was 14.38, with 68% male and 32% female. Factor analysis supported a two factorial structure. The first factor (callousness) had 12 items (Eigen value=4.8; r=0.58, p<0.001); the second factor (uncaring) had 11 items (Eigen value=2.3; r=0.64, p<0.001). Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the total scale was 0.55, 0.77 for the callousness subscale, and 0.58 for the uncaring subscale. Test-retest reliability coefficient was 0.88 (p<0.001).Conclusion: The construct validity of ICU-TR was shown by factor analysis. The result is that test-retest reliability, sub-scale and total scale reliability are all sufficient.

Özet

Amaç: Duygusal ifadeden yoksunluk, suçluluk ve empati eksikliği gibi katıduygusuz özellikler, özellikle gelecekte saldırgan ve şiddet içeren davranışlar için artmış risk taşıyan antisosyal özellikleri olan gençlerin ciddi bir alt grubunu oluşturmaktadır. Çalışmamızda, katı-duygusuz özelliklerin belirlenmesine yönelik geliştirilen "Katı-Duygusuz Özellikleri Tarama Ölçeği (Inventory of Callous-Unemotional Traits)" (ICU) Gençlik Formu Türkçe uyarlamasının (ICUTR) psikometrik özelliklerini belirlemek amaçlanmıştır.Gereç ve Yöntemler: Çalışmamızda ICU-TR, 301 öğrenci tarafından doldurulmuş, ölçeği eksiksiz dolduran 250 öğrencinin formu çalışmaya alınmıştır. Toplam 100 kişi ortalama 3 hafta sonra ICU-TR'yi tekrar doldurmuştur. Ölçeğin faktör yapısı ana bileşen analiziyle incelenmiş, iç tutarlılığı Cronbach alfa katsayısı ile hesaplanmıştır. Ölçüt bağıntılı geçerlik analizinde ve test-tekrar test güvenirliğinin incelenmesinde Pearson korelasyon analizi uygulanmıştır. Bulgular: Olguların yaş ortalaması 14,38 yıl; %68'i erkek, %32'si kızdır. Faktör analizi ile 2 faktörlü yapı desteklenmiştir. Birinci faktör (callousness-katılık) 12 maddeden (Eigen değer=4,8; r=0,58, p<0,001); ikinci faktör (uncaringduyarsızlık) 11 maddeden oluşmuştur (Eigen değer=2,3; r=0,64, p<0,001). Toplam ölçek Cronbach alfa katsayısı 0,55; katılık alt ölçeği için Cronbach alfa 0,77, duyarsızlık alt ölçeği için ise 0,58 saptanmıştır. Ölçek test-tekrar test güvenirlik katsayısı 0,88'dir (p<0,001).Sonuç: ICU-TR'nin faktör analizi ile 2 faktörlü yapısının geçerliği gösterilmiştir. Test-tekrar test güvenirliği ve alt ölçekler ve toplam ölçek iç tutarlılık güvenirliğinin yeterli düzeyde olduğu saptanmıştır.
