Abstract

In this study, developing a scale measuring attitudes toward young people was aimed. For the scale, labeled as Attitude Scale Toward Young People (ASTYP), firstly 71 attitude statements were written and after the expert opinions, pilot form of the scale was conducted with 60 items. The scale includes positive and negative attitude statements which are related to the cognitive, emotional and behavioral components of attitude. The validity and reliability studies of the scale were conducted on 302 adults. The evidence for the construct validity of the scale was provided progressively. The scale was composed of two factors (positive and negative approach) which explains 34.21 % of the total variance. The Cronbach alpha coefficients were calculated as .92 for positive approach, and .91 for negative approach. According to the result of the pilot study, 8 items which did not show the adequate qualifications were removed and as a result, attitude scale consisting of 52 items and two factors has been made ready for use.

Özet

Bu çalışmada yetişkinlerin gençlere ilişkin tutumlarını belirlemeye yönelik bir ölçme aracının geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Gençlere Yönelik Tutum Ölçeği (GYTÖ) olarak adlandırılan bu ölçme aracının geliştirilmesi için ilk etapta 71 denemelik madde yazılmış, uzman görüşleri sonucunda 60 maddelik taslak formu oluşturulmuştur ve bu taslak formunda tutumun biliş, duyuş ve davranış boyutlarını kapsayan olumlu ve olumsuz tutum ifadeleri yer almaktadır. Ölçeğin geçerlik ve güvenirlik çalışması 302 kişiden oluşan yetişkin grubu üzerinden yürütülmüştür. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliğine yönelik kanıtlar aşamalı olarak sağlanmıştır. Ölçek iki faktörlü bir yapıdan (olumlu ve olumsuz yaklaşım) oluşmakta ve bu yapı toplam varyansın % 34.21’ini açıklamaktadır. Ölçeğin Cronbach Alpha güvenirlik katsayısı faktörler bazında, olumlu yaklaşım için .92, olumsuz yaklaşım için .91 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Ön uygulamada elde edilen sonuçlar doğrultusunda yeterli ölçütler sağlayamayan 8 maddenin çıkarılması ile nihai formunda 52 madde bulunan ve iki faktörden oluşan tutum ölçeği araştırmacıların kullanımına hazır hale getirilmiştir.
