Abstract

Self-conscious emotions arise as a result of the individual’s evaluation of her/his behaviors as good or bad and require a certain level of self-awareness. Shame is accepted as a self-conscious emotion and external shame, one of the dimensions of shame, is associated with how other people evaluate the self of the individual. In this study, the Other as Shamer Scale-2, which measures external shame experience of a person that results from others’ evaluation about oneself, was adapted to Turkish. The sample consisted of 403 participants (266 females, 137 males; Mage. = 23.38, SD = 6.50). Questionnaire package included the Turkish version of the Other as Shamer Scale-2 as well as Demographic Information Form, Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Depression, Anxiety and Stress Scale, Trait Guilt and Shame Scale, Interpersonal Sensitivity Scale, and Satisfaction with Life Scale. The results of the exploratory factor analysis demonstrated that the Turkish version of the Other as Shamer Scale-2 had a single factor structure with seven items as consistent with the original scale. The adapted scale demonstrated good internal consistency (α = .85). In terms of validity, the Turkish form was significantly correlated with guilt, shame, interpersonal sensitivity, depression, anxiety, stress, and life satisfaction in expected directions. Overall, the Turkish version of the Other as Shamer Scale-2 was found to be a reliable and valid measure of external shame. In this respect, it is considered that the Other as Shamer Scale-2 will make an important contribution to the literature for future studies that will focus on external shame

Utandıran Diğeri Ölçeği-2’nin Türkçe Formunun psikometrik özellikleri

Abstract

Kendilik bilinci duyguları kişinin davranışlarını iyi veya kötü olarak değerlendirmesi sonucu oluşan, belirli bir öz-farkındalık hali gerektiren duygulardır. Bu duygulardan biri olarak kabul edilen utanç duygusunun kişinin diğer insanların zihninde nasıl biri olduğuyla ilişkilendirilen boyutu dışsal utanç olarak tanımlanır. Bu çalışmada, kişinin diğer insanların kendisi hakkındaki görüşlerini düşünerek deneyimlediği dışsal utanç duygusunu ölçen Utandıran Diğeri Ölçeği-2’nin Türkçe uyarlaması yapılmıştır. Çalışmada 403 katılımcı yer almıştır (266 kadın, 137 erkek; Ort.yaş = 23.38, S = 6.50). Araştırma kapsamında katılımcılara uygulanan ölçek paketi; Utandıran Diğeri Ölçeği-2’nin Türkçe formunun yanı sıra Demografik Bilgi Formunu, Rosenberg Benlik Saygısı Ölçeğini, Depresyon, Anksiyete ve Stres Ölçeğini, Sürekli Suçluluk ve Utanç Ölçeğini, Kişilerarası Duyarlılık Ölçeğini ve Yaşam Doyum Ölçeğini içermektedir. Gerçekleştirilen açımlayıcı faktör analizinin bulguları, Utandıran Diğeri Ölçeği-2’nin Türkçe formunun yedi maddeden ve özgün ölçekle uyumlu olarak tek faktörden oluştuğunu göstermektedir. Ölçeğin iç tutarlılık değerinin oldukça iyi düzeyde olduğu (α = .85) bulunmuştur. Geçerlilik analizi bulguları; Türkçe formun utanç, suçluluk, gurur, kişiler arası duyarlılık, depresyon, anksiyete, stres ve yaşam doyumu değişkenleri ile anlamlı ve beklenen yönde ilişkili olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Elde edilen bulgular, Utandıran Diğeri Ölçeği-2’nin Türkçe formunun dışsal utancı ölçmek için kullanılabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğunu göstermektedir. Bu yönüyle, Utandıran Diğeri Ölçeği-2'nin dışsal utanç duygusuna odaklanacak ileriki çalışmalar için alanyazına önemli bir katkı sunacağı düşünülmektedir.
