Özet:

The aim of this study is to make the Adaptation of the Psychological Sustainability Attitude Skills Measure (PSTBÖ) to Turkish and to study the validity of validity. Data from two different study groups were collected in order to study the psychometric characteristics of the scale. The first work group, 2015-2016 educational year, consisted of 423 high school students who continue their education in four different high schools in Mersin, Toroslar district. The data was collected from 250 participants who studied at a different high school in the same area for the second study group. There is an opinion agreement in the field that a clear risk factor should be in order to speak of psychological stability. Therefore, the study’s sample group Mersin is selected from areas where the poverty rate is high in the Toros province. The structural validity of the PSTBÖ is studied by the opening and verifying factor analysis. In the first sample, the structural validity of the scale was studied with the discovery factor analysis method and correlation analyses were carried out to study the level of compatibility of the PSTB with the criterion scale. The findings indicated that the scale has a four-factor structure and that the criterion is well aligned with the scales. The results of the verifying factor analysis conducted in the second sample found to support the four-factor structure. The findings obtained from the research have shown that PSTBÖ can be used for high school students to measure their attitudes and skills levels of psychological stability in a valid and reliable way.

Adaptation of the Resiliency Attitude and Skills Profile into Turkish: A validity and reliability study Abstract The present study investigates the validity and reliability of the Resiliency Attitude and Skills Profile into Turkish version. Validity and reliability of RASP was examined in two different samples. The first sample consisted of 423 students who continued their education in four different high schools in Mersin. The second samples consisted of 250 high school students. Both samples were composed from the high schools at Toroslar district a district of Mersin which is known for high poverty rates. In the first sample, construct validity of RASP was examined with an explanatory approach and the correlation of RASP with other resiliency scales were investigated to support its criterion validity. Findings indicated that the scale had a four-factor structure, and the total scale and its sub-scales were in accordance with other resiliency measures. A confirmatory factor analysis approach was adopted to support the four-factor structure in the second sample. Overall findings of the study has indicated that RASP has well-established validity and reliability. Key words:Resiliency, resiliency attitude and skills profile, adaptation study.
