The aim of this study is to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Doomscrolling Scale. The study consists of 298 adults, 88 (29.5%) male and 210 (70.5%) female, reached via Google forms. The Self-Control Scale was used for criterion validity, in the present study and a moderately significant correlation was found between the two scales. Expert opinion was taken for content validity. As a result of the confirmatory factor analysis performed for the construct validity of the scale, it was determined that the 15-item single-factor structure showed good fit. The factor loadings of the items in the scale were the lowest .49 and the highest .85, and the lowest item-total correlations of the scale were .51 and the highest .77. The difference between the lower and upper 27% groups was statistically significant. For the reliability analysis, the Cronbach Alpha coefficient was .92. In the split-half method, which was performed as an additional contribution to the reliability analysis, the correlation between the equivalent halves was calculated as .82. Finally, it has been well understood that this scale is a competent measurement tool to identify the levels of doomscrolling in adults.

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Felaket Haberlerini Kaydırma Ölçeğinin Türkçe formunun psikometrik özelliklerinin incelenmesidir. Çalışma, Google formlar aracılığı ile ulaşılan, 88'i (%29,5) erkek, 210'u (%70,5) kadın olmak üzere 298 yetişkinden oluşmaktadır. Çalışmada ölçüt geçerliği için Öz-Kontrol Ölçeğinden faydalanılmış ve iki ölçek arasında orta düzeyde anlamlı bir korelasyon tespit edilmiştir. Kapsam geçerliği adımında uzman görüşü alınmıştır. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliği için gerçekleştirilen doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucunda 15 maddelik tek faktörlü yapının iyi uyum gösterdiği belirlenmiştir. Ölçekteki maddelerin faktör yükleri en düşük .49, en yüksek .85 olup, ölçeğin madde toplam korelasyonları en düşük .51, en yüksek .77 olarak bulunmuştur. Alt ve üst %27’lik iki grup arasındaki farklılık istatistiksel olarak anlamlıdır. Ölçeğin güvenirlik analizinde Cronbach Alfa kat sayısı .92 olarak tespit edilmiştir. Güvenirlik analizine ek katkı olarak gerçekleştirilen çift yarılar yönteminde, eşdeğer yarılar arasındaki korelasyon kat sayısı .82 olarak hesaplanmıştır. Sonuç olarak bu ölçeğin, yetişkinlerde felaket haberlerini kaydırma düzeylerini tespit etmek için yetkin bir ölçme aracı olduğu anlaşılmıştır.
