Abstract:

 The study aimed to develop the Small t Trauma Effects Determination Scale in order to determine the small t trauma effects. The study group was made up of individuals over the age of 18. Within the scope of the psychometric examinations of the scale, n549 participants were included in the study for exploratory factor analysis EFA, n317 participants for confirmative factor analysis CFA, and n89 participants for test-retest. As a result of EFA, it was determined that the scale had a three-factor structure explaining the 54.22 of the total variance. These factors are Negative Effects on Self and Future Perception NESFP, Negative Effects on Emotions, Thoughts, and Behaviors NEETB, and Negative Effects on Body Sense NEBS. The factor loadings of the scale items range from .41 to .77 for NESFP, from .52 to .79 for NEETB, and from .51 to .77 for NEBS. After CFA, the goodness of fit values was found χ2sd 2462.79776 3.17, p.001, SRMR .060; NNFI.97; IFI.97; CFI.97; RMSEA.083 confidence interval for RMSEA.079.087. The Cronbachs alpha internal consistency coefficients calculated as a result of the reliability analysis were .97 for the whole scale, .93 for the NESFP, .94 for the NEETB, and .91 for the NEBS. According to the study findings, the Small t Trauma Effects Scale has adequate validity and reliability values in determining the small t trauma effects.

 Bu araştırmada küçük t travma etkilerinin belirlemeye yönelik Küçük t Travma Etkileri Ölçeğinin geliştirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubu on sekiz yaş üstü bireylerden oluşmakta olup, ölçeğin psikometrik incelemeleri kapsamında açımlayıcı faktör analizi AFA için n549 ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi DFA için n317, test tekrar test için ise n89 katılımcı araştırma grubunda yer almıştır. AFA sonucunda ölçeğin toplam varyansın 54.22ni açıklayan üç alt boyutlu bir yapıya sahip olduğu görülmüştür. Bu alt boyutlar Kendilik ve Gelecek Algısı Olumsuz Etkileri KGAE, Duygu, Düşünce ve Davranışlardaki Olumsuz Etkiler DDDOE, Beden Duyumuna Yönelik Olumsuz Etkiler BDYOEdir. Ölçek maddelerinin faktör yükleri ise KGAE için .41 ile .77, DDDOE için .52 ile .79 ve BDYOE için .51 ile .77 arasında değişmektedir. DFA sonucunda elde edilen uyum iyiliği değerlerinin ise χ2sd 2462.79776  3.17, p .001, SRMR .060; NNFI.97; IFI .97; CFI .97; RMSEA .083 RMSEA için güven aralığı .079.087 şeklinde olduğu görülmüştür. Güvenirlik analizi sonucunda elde edilen Cronbach alfa iç tutarlık katsayıları ise; ölçeğin tamamı için .97, KGAE alt ölçeği için .93, DDDOE için .94, BDYOE için ise .91dir. Elde edilen bulgular geliştirilen Küçük t Travma Etkileri Ölçeğinin küçük t travma etkilerini belirlemede yeterli düzeyde geçerli ve güvenilirlik değerlerine sahip olduğunu göstermektedir.
