Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop an instrument, which is specific to Turkish culture and to evaluate empathic tendency for children and adolescents. The sample consisted of 1144 students ( 579 girls, 565 boys ) from Grades 3 through 12 selected from elemantary and high school The data were analyzed separately in each class level and it was observed that appearance of 3-5th grade and 6-12th grade is different. So it is thought that different forms for children and adolescents is to be true. In order to determine validity of both child and adolescent forms exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses and upper-lower group mean differences were conducted. According to these analyses two factors solutions were determined to be appropriate. Moreover Cronbach alpha correlations of scale and subscales, test-retest correlations and correlation coefficients between subscales show that this instrument is valid.

Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, çocuk ve ergenlerin empatik eğilimlerini ölçmek için Türk kültürüne özgü bir ölçme aracı geliştirmektir. Çalışma grubu, ilköğretim okulu ve liselere devam eden toplam 1144 öğrenciden oluşmuştur. Veriler her sınıf düzeyinde ayrı analiz edilmiş, 3- 5. sınıfların görünümü ile 6-12. sınıfların görünümün farklı olduğu gözlenmiştir. Bu nedenle ölçeğin çocuklar ve ergenler için ayrı formlar olarak hazırlanmasının doğru olacağı düşünülmüştür. KA-Sİ EEÖ’nün hem çocuk hem de ergen formunun geçerliliği için yapılan açıklayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi ve alt-üst grup ayırt edicilik analizleri sonucunda hem çocuk hem de ergen formu için iki faktörlü yapının uygun olduğu belirlenmiştir. Ayrıca hem çocuk hem ergen formunun alt ölçeklere ve ölçeğin geneline ilişkin Cronbach alpha güvenirlik katsayıları, alt ölçekler arasındaki korelasyon katsayıları ve bir hafta arayla uygulanmasından elde edilen test, tekrartest güvenirlik katsayıları ölçeğin güvenilir bir şekilde kullanılabileceğini göstermektedir.
