Özet:

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to study the psychometric characteristics such as validity and reliability of the Adolescent Difficulty Easter Scale (EASO) developed by Branson, Dry, Palmer and Turnbull and to carry out adaptation studies to the Turkish language. Tools and Methods: The research showed a total of 366 high school students, including 261 women and 105 men, who studied in different official secondary education institutions in the 2019-2020 educational year in the province of Istanbul Tuzla. To study the psychometric characteristics of the Turkish version of the measurement, linguistic equivalence, measurement conformity validity, internal consistency ratio calculation and verifying factor analysis were made. Results: The structure validity of the scale is studied with the verifying factor analysis and the binary structure, which constitutes the subdimensions of the Strongest Age Scale in Adults, is verified. The study of measurement conformity validity resulted in positive meaningful relationships between the low-dimensional ESO- Difficulty and the general self-sufficiency scale. There have been negative sensitive relationships between the sub-dimensional ESO-Stress and the general self-sufficiency scale between the positive, detected stress scale. As a result of the internal consistency analysis, the reliability Cronbach alpha ratio is calculated as .81, for the ESO-Problem sub-dimension, and for the ESO-Oster sub-dimension as .84. Results: The research findings have shown that the Turkish Form is a valid and reliable measurement tool.
