Abstract

Caffeine is a psychoactive substance that is widely consumed in the world and Turkey. It is seen that its widespread consumption is related to expectancies of consumption as well as cultural factors. Recreationally active individuals may have various expectations from caffeine consumption in line with their lifestyles and goals such as physical, social and/or other aspects. It can be stated that caffeine consumption expectancies have an important role in the process of evaluating consumption patterns. However, in the literature, it seems to be very limited information about expectancies related to caffeine consumption. In this direction, the aim of the research was to test the compatibility of Brief-Caffeine Expectancy Questionnaire (B-CaffeQ) to Turkish culture and language. In the study, data were collected from two separate participant groups and were analyzed. Participants were composed of recreationally active individuals. To reveal the structure in the first group (n=278) data, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA), and to verify the structure in the second group (n=313) data, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was used. Reliability was assessed by performing test-retest and internal consistency analyzes on both the two data groups. The findings show that the existing 7-dimensional structure contains good values in terms of validity and reliability, and it overlaps with the original B-CaffeQ structure. As a result, the data obtained shows that B-CaffeQ-TR is a valid and reliable measurement tool that could be used to evaluate the expectancies of caffeine use in the Turkish language and culture.

Kafein Beklenti Anketi Kısa Formunun (K-KafBA) Türkçe Versiyonunun Psikometrik Özelliklerinin Değerlendirmesi: Rekreasyonel Aktif Bireyler Üzerine Bir Uyarlama Çalışması

Abstract

Kafein dünyada ve Türkiyede yaygın olarak tüketilen psikoaktif maddedir. Yaygın olarak tüketilmesinin, kültürel unsururların yanında tüketime ilişkin beklentilerle de ilişkisi olduğu görülmektedir. Rekreasyonel olarak aktif bireyler, yaşam tarzları ve hedefleri doğrultusunda fiziksel, sosyal ve/veya diğer yönlerden kafein tüketiminden çeşitli beklentilere sahip olabilirler. Kafein tüketim beklentilerinin, tüketici davranışlarını değerlendirme sürecinde önemli bir role sahip olduğu ifade edilebilir. Ancak literatürde (özellikle Türkiyede) kafein tüketimine ilişkin beklentiler hakkında çok sınırlı düzeyde bilgi olduğu görülmektedir. Bu doğrultuda araştırmanın amacı Kafein Beklenti Anketi Kısa Formunun (K-KafBA) Türk kültürü ve diline uygunluğunun test edilmesidir. Yürütülen araştırmada iki ayrı katılımcı grubundan veri toplanarak analiz işlemleri yürütülmüştür. Katılımcılar rekreasyonel olarak aktif bireylerden oluşmaktadır. Birinci grup (n = 278) verileri üzerinde yapının ortaya çıkması için Açımlayıcı Faktör Analizi (AFA), ikinci grup (n = 313) verileri üzerinde yapının doğrulanması için Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi (DFA) kullanılmıştır. Her iki grup verileri üzerinde test-tekrar test ve iç tutarlık analizleri yapılarak güvenirlik değerlendirilmesi sağlanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, mevcut 7 boyutlu yapının geçerlik ve güvenirlik açısından iyi değerlere sahip olduğunu ve oriinal K-KafBA ile yapısının örtüştüğünü göstermektedir. Sonuç olarak, elde edilen veriler K-KafBA’nın Türk dili ve kültürü için kafein kullanımına ilişkin beklentilerin değerlendirilmesinde kullanılabilecek geçerli ve güvenir bir ölçme aracı olduğunu göstermiştir.
