Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to adapt the Material Values Scale developed by Richins (2004) to Turkish. For this purpose, a total of 408 undergraduate and master’s students were the participants in 2018-2019 academic year. This group is composed of 203 women and 205 men. After the translation process of the scale into Turkish was finished, necessary permissions were obtained, and the scale was applied to the study group. Since the fit indices were not within acceptable limits in Confirmatory Factor Analysis and the original three-factor structure wasn’t confirmed, it was decided to perform Exploratory Factor Analysis. Item 2 had a negative value and loaded on both factors, so it was decided to remove this item. As a result, a structure consisting of 8 items and 2 sub-dimensions was obtained. Factor loadings of the items were between .43 and .90. Confirmatory factor analysis results indicated that the two-factor structure had good fit. Cronbach alpha coefficient of both of the two factors were.70 and the Cronbach alpha coefficient of the whole scale was .77. As a result of this study, it was concluded that the Turkish version of this scale is reliable and valid.

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Richins (2004) tarafından geliştirilen Maddi Değerler Ölçeği’nin Türkçeye uyarlanması amaçlanmıştır. Bu araştırma kapsamında, 2018-2019 eğitim-öğretim yılında toplam 408 lisans ve yüksek lisans öğrencisinden oluşan bir araştırma grubu ile çalışılmıştır. Bu grup 203 kadın ve 205 erkekten oluşmaktadır. Ölçeğin Türkçeye çevrilme aşaması tamamlandıktan sonra gerekli izinler alınmış ve ölçek çalışma grubuna uygulanmıştır. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda uyum değerlerinin kabul edilebilir düzeyde olmamasından dolayı ölçeğin orijinal üç faktörlü yapısı doğrulanamamış ve Açımlayıcı Faktör Analizi yapılmasına karar verilmiştir. Yapılan analiz sonucunda her iki faktöre binişen ve eksi değer alan 2. maddenin çıkarılmasına karar verilmiştir. Sonuç olarak 8 madde ve 2 alt boyuttan oluşan bir yapı elde edilmiştir. Maddelerin faktör yük değerlerinin .43 ile .90 arasında değiştiği tespit edilmiştir. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonuçları iki faktörlü yapının iyi uyum değerlerine sahip olduğunu göstermiştir. Ölçeğin iki boyutunun da Cronbach alfa iç tutarlılık katsayısı .70 iken tüm ölçeğin Cronbach alfa iç tutarlılık katsayısı .77 olarak bulunmuştur. Yapılan bu çalışma neticesinde bu ölçeğin Türkçe formunun güvenilir ve geçerli olduğu çıkarımı yapılmıştır.
