Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Akademik Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği’nin Türkçe formunun psikometrik özelliklerini araştırmaktır. Araştırmanın örneklemini 133’ü (% 56.6) kadın, 102’si (% 43.4) erkek, toplam 235 üniversite öğrencisi oluşturmuştur. Araştırmada veri toplama araçları olarak Kişisel Bilgi Formu, Akademik Yaşam Doyum Ölçeği, Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği, Pozitif ve Negatif Duygu Ölçeği ve İki Boyutlu Benlik Saygısı Ölçeği kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen veriler doğrulayıcı faktör analizi, korelasyon analizi ve bağımsız örneklemler için t testi analizleriyle değerlendirilmiştir. Faktör analizi sonuçları ölçeğin iki faktörlü bir yapıya sahip olduğunu doğrulamıştır. Akademik Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği’nin ölçüt bağıntılı geçerliğinin tespiti kapsamında üniversite öğrencilerinin akademik yaşam doyumları ile yaşam doyumları, pozitif duygu durumları, benlik saygısı ve genel not ortalamaları arasında pozitif yönde anlamlı ilişki bulunurken negatif duygu durumları ile negatif yönde anlamlı ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular ışığında Akademik Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeği’nin Türkiye’deki üniversite öğrencilerinin akademik yaşam doyumlarını ölçmede kullanılabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu söylenebilir.

Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Academic Life Satisfaction Scale. The sample in the research comprised a total of 235 university students, including 133 females (56.6 %) and 102 males (43.4 %). Instruments used in the research included the Demographic Information Form, Academic Life Satisfaction Scale, Life Satisfaction Scale, Positive and Negative Affect Scale, and Two-Dimensional Self-Esteem Scale. Confirmatory factor analysis, correlation analysis, and the independent samples t test analysis were used in the analysis of the data. Factor analysis results confirmed the scale had a two-factor structure. Within the scope of criterion-related validity for the Academic Life Satisfaction Scale, positive significant correlations were detected between academic life satisfaction and life satisfaction, positive affect, self-esteem and academic achievement, while a negative significant correlation was identified between academic life satisfaction and negative affect among university students. In light of the obtained findings, the Academic Life Satisfaction Scale is a valid and reliable instrument to measure academic life satisfaction among Turkish university students.
