PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES OF THE TURKISH VERSION OF THE SIBLING DYADIC TRUST SCALE
Journal Title: Academic Research International - Year 2016, Vol 7, Issue 1
Abstract
The aim of this study is to conduct validity and reliability analysis of sibling dyadic trust scale. The data was collected from 215 (121 F, 94 M) high school students whose ages are between 14-18. These students also filled ‘Demographic Information Form’. Confirmatory factor analysis was used for single model of the sibling dyadic trust scale and the following indices were obtained [χ²(20) = 67.473, p = .00; χ²/df-ratio = 3.374; GFI = .922, CFI = .908, RMSEA = .087, and SRMR = .064]. These indices indicated good fit. Cronbach alpha coefficient was calculated for the internal reliability and it was found .82. Besides, in order to test for gender differences, an independent group t-test was used. A significant difference was found between males (M=37.87, SD= 10.18) and females (M=41.93, SD= 8.99) on the SDT [ t (212) = 3.091, p<.05].The results suggested that the original one- factor structure of the scale was confirmed with the present data providing evidence for the construct validity.
