Abstract:

 The study aims to perform the validity and reliability analysis of Unrealistic Parental Expectations Scale in Turkish culture, developed by Imasa 2012. To do so, the scale was translated from English into Turkish language and validity and reliability analysis were conducted. Research data were collected from two different samples: the first sample consists of 229 and the second sample consists of 235 secondary school students. Validity of the scale was tested with exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, and reliability was tested with Cronbachs Alpha internal consistency coefficient. The results of exploratory factor analysis indicated that while the original scale was consisting of 11 items in a single factor, the translated scale involved 10 items in a single factor explaining the 40 of variance of the structure. The confirmatory factor analysis data showed a good model-data fit of the scales single factor structure. Concerning reliability, Cronbachs Alpha internal consistency coefficient was .83 for the first sample and .80 for the second sample. Therefore, the research findings show that the Turkish form of the Unrealistic Parental Expectations Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool for determining secondary school students perceptions of their parents unrealistic academic expectations.

 Bu araştırmada, Imasa 2012 tarafından geliştirilen Gerçekçi Olmayan Aile Beklentileri Ölçeğinin Türk kültüründe geçerlik ve güvenirlik analizlerinin yapılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla ölçek İngilizceden Türkçeye çevrilmiş, ardından geçerlik ve güvenirlik analizleri gerçekleştirilmiştir. Araştırmanın verileri iki farklı örneklem grubundan toplanmıştır. Araştırmanın birinci örneklem grubu 229, ikinci örneklem grubu ise 235 ortaokul öğrencisinden oluşmaktadır. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliği açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri ile güvenirliği ise Cronbachs Alpha iç tutarlık katsayısı ile test edilmiştir. Açımlayıcı faktör analizi bulgularına göre, 11 madde ve tek boyuttan oluşan İngilizce orijinalinin aksine, ölçeğin Türkçe formunun tek boyuttaki 10 maddeden oluştuğu ve bu 10 maddenin yapıya ilişkin varyansın 40ını açıkladığı tespit edilmiştir. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi bulgularına göre ise ölçeğin tek boyutlu mevcut yapısının araştırma verileri ile uyumunun iyi düzeyde olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ölçeğin güvenirliğine ilişkin olarak ise, Cronbachs Alpha iç tutarlık katsayısı birinci örneklem grubu için ,83, ikinci örneklem grubu için ,80 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Araştırma bulgularından hareketle Gerçekçi Olmayan Aile Beklentileri Ölçeği Türkçe formunun, ortaokul öğrencilerinin ailelerinin gerçekçi olmayan akademik beklentilerine yönelik algılarının ölçülmesinde kullanılabilecek, geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.
