Abstract:

The study aimed at making the adaptation work of the "Altruism Scale for Children" (ASC) developed by Swank, Limberg and Liu (2019). For this purpose, the data was collected from 535 high school and high school students aged 10-18 years. The original scale is a one-dimensional self-related, one-dimensional tool designed to measure the individual behavior between children and adolescents from class 3 to class 12. There are 30 items that offer children three options to choose when answering their questions. One of the options reflects the behavior of receiving feedback from others in the decision-making process, while the third option reflects the behavior of receiving feedback from others. First of all, after determining that the scale has a linguistic equivalent, validity and reliability analyses were made. The study was conducted with 447 students with validity and trust study. After the adaptation process to Turkey, the lowest score that can be obtained from the "Children's Freedom Scale", which has a single-factor structure consisting of 28 articles, is the highest score of 28. The Cronbach alpha value for the 28 matters of the measurement was determined to be .871 and the test-up test reliability to be .832 and the verifying factor analysis found that the measurement was compatible with the original form and that the measurement was valid and reliable. Therefore, it is believed that the Turkish form of the scale in Turkey can be used in the determination of the levels of individuality of children of the ages of 10-18 in Turkey.
