    Psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the behavior assessment for children (BAC) scale
    (SPRINGER, 2021-11) SEZER BALCI, AYŞE; Sisman, Fatma Nevin; Ergun, Ayse; Sezer Balci, Ayse
    Behavioral problems are seen in one out of four school-age children. There are difficulties in evaluating children's behavior in Turkish culture and therefore a valid and reliable measuring tool is needed for assessing behavioral problems in this age group. The aim of this study was to evaluate the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Behavior Assessment for Children (BAC). The study was conducted using the cross-sectional data collection method to examine the content validity, factor structure, measurement invariance, reliability of BAC based on data from 495 parents and 14 teachers. The Content Validity Index (CVI) was used for testing content validity. Reliability analysis was carried out with Cronbach's alpha, MacDonald's omega test, item total correlations, Spearman Brown's and Guttman's split-half reliability coefficients, percent agreement and intraclass correlation coefficients (ICC). Construct validity was evaluated by confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). The measurement invariance was examined by multiple-group CFA. The CVI of the BAC was found to be .92. Three models were tested with CFA, and a 17-item, three-factor (attention, emotion, self-control) structure of the BAC was finally supported; this dimensional structure proved to be invariant across gender. Factor loadings varied between .56 and .83. Cronbach's alpha was .93; ICC was .60. Percent agreement varied between 41.6%-63.1%. It was determined that the BAC scale is a valid and reliable instrument that can be used to assess the behavioral problems of Turkish children. Its results can moreover contribute to the cross-cultural study of behavior problems and add to worldwide discussions.

    The Psychometric Features of the Turkish Version of the Ageism Survey and the Frequency of Ageism
    (ELSEVIER TAIWAN, 2016-09) ERGÜN, AYŞE; Erol, Saime; Ergun, Ayse; Kadioglu, Hasibe; Gur, Kamer; Albayrak, Sevil; Sisman, Fatma Nevin; Sezer, Ayse; Kolac, Nurcan
    Background: This study was conducted to adapt the ageism survey to the Turkish language and culture and to determine the frequency of occurrence of ageism. Methods: The study population consisted of 236 individuals aged 50-95 years. The cultural adaptation of the ageism survey was carried out through the method of translation/back-translation and the validity of the instrument was tested for content and construct validity; its reliability was tested by internal consistency analysis. Results: The mean age of the respondents was 64.44 +/- 9.57. The content validity index for the ageism survey was found to be 0.89 and Cronbach a value was 0.86. Item-total correlation values for all of the items were over 0.31. Of the participants, 82.5% reported being confronted with some kind of discriminatory behavior at least once. Conclusion: It was established that the ageism survey is appropriate to the Turkish language and culture and that it is a valid and reliable instrument.

    Reliability and Validity of the Turkish Version of Children's Somatization Inventory
    (ELSEVIER SCIENCE INC, 2012-03) ERGÜN, AYŞE; Kadioglu, Hasibe; Sismari, Fatma Nevin; Ergun, Aye
    Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Children's Somatization Inventory (CSI) in Turkish schoolchildren and adolescents. Methods: The CSI was translated using translation and back-translation. The participants were 813 schoolchildren, adolescents and their parents (n = 453). Content and construct validity were assessed to test the validity of the CSI-24. Internal consistency reliability, interrater reliability (child-parent agreement) and test-retest reliability were assessed to test the reliability of the CSI-24. Results: Psychometric analyses of the Turkish version of the CSI-24 indicate high reliability and good content and construct validity. Conclusion: The Turkish version of the CSI-24 is a useful instrument for measuring self-reported somatic complaints in Turkish schoolchildren and adolescents between the ages of 9 and 15.
