Abstract:

The aim of this study is to adapt the Questionnaire of Personal and Social Responsibility, developed by Li et al (2008), into Turkish and thus gaining a measure tool for teachers of physical education and sport when they use the model of personal and social responsibility (TPSR) during their courses. Scale was administered to 250 students for exploratory factor analysis (EFA), and 210 students for confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The result of analysis showed that there were differences between the factor loadings of original scale of items and this adapted one. The findings of EFA indicated that scale included only one factor and the structure of factor is acceptable. This one factor was named after as “behaviors of responsibility”. Internal consistency coefficient was calculated as .925 concerning reliability. In addition, Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient, calculated for reliability of test-re-test, was determined as significant. The findings of CFA showed that the structure developed in EFA was acceptable. Adapted scale consists of 14 items and in six Likert type. Scale is a reliable and valid tool that may be used in Turkish culture.
