Abstract:

The Emotional Styles Survey was developed by Hofmann and Kashdan (2010) to determine the emotional styles of individuals. The aim of this study is to adapt the Emotional Styles Survey to the Turkish culture on the sample of university students who are in the apparent adulthood period in Turkey and to do the validity of the scale's reliability study. The study group consists of 343 students (192 women and 151 men) who continue their education and teaching in the various departments of the University of Nine September Buca Education Faculty. The validity of the survey, the validity of the language, the validity of the structure, the validity of similar scales are determined by the studies of validity. A verifying factor analysis has been done to test the validity of the building. The original three-factor structure of the survey has been confirmed. As a result of the validity study of similar scales, a positive and meaningful correlation was found between the Emotional Styles Survey and the Emotional Regulation Survey Points. Similarly, the study of language validity has also achieved a positive and meaningful relationship between the two applications. Also the internal consistency and test re-test reliability ratings obtained supported the reliability of the survey. The results obtained indicate that the "Emotional Styles Survey" is a valid and reliable measurement tool.

Abstract:

The Affective Style Questionnaire was developed by Hofmann ve Kashdan (2010) to determine the affective styles of individuals. The purpose of this study is to adapt “The Affective Style Questionnaire” in Turkish culture and to perform a validity and reliability study on a sample consisting of university students who are in appearing adulthood period in Turkey. The study group consisted of 343 (192 female and 151 male) students attending to various departments of the Faculty of Education at Dokuz Eylül University. The validity of the questionnaire was determined by construct validity, concurrent validity and language validity studies. Confirmatory factor analysis was performed to test construct validity. The original three-factor structure of the questionnaire has been verified. As a result of concurrent validity it was found a positive and significant correlation between the scores of The Affective Style Questionnaire and The Emotion Regulation Questionnaire. Similary, in the language validity study, a positive and significant correlation was obtained between two applications. In addition, the internal consistency and test-retest reliability coefficients supported the reliability of the questionnaire. The results show that “The Affective Style Questionnaire” will be used as a valid and reliable measurement tool.
