The purpose of the study was to report initial data on the psychometric properties of the Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale. The scale was applied to a nonclinical sample of 250 (137 women, 113 men) Turkish undergraduate students selected randomly from Middle East Technical University. Their mean age was 20.4 yr. (SD 1.9). The factor structure of the Turkish version, its criterion validity, and internal reliability coefficients were assessed. Although maximum likelihood factor analysis initially indicated that the scale had only one factor, a forced two-factor solution accounted for more variance (61%) in scale scores than a single factor. The straightforward items loaded on the first factor, and the reverse-coded items loaded on the second factor. The total score was significantly positively correlated with scores on the Revised Cheek and Buss Shyness Scale and significantly negatively correlated with scores on the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Factor 1 (straightforward items) correlated more highly with both Shyness and Self-esteem than Factor 2 (reverse-coded items). Internal consistency estimate was.94 for the Total scores,.91 for the Factor I (straightforward items), and.87 for the Factor 2 (reverse-coded items). No sex differences were evident for Fear of Negative Evaluation.

Visual perspective in causal attribution, empathy and attitude change Onder, OM; Öner Özkan, Bengi (SAGE Publications, 2003-12-01) The aim of the present study was to test the effect of visual perspective on the actor-observer bias. For this aim, we examined the effects of different visual perspectives on individuals' external and internal attributions. In addition to this, we examined the presence or absence of an attitude change toward the death penalty due to participants' visual perspective. One week before the experiment, we measured the participants' attitudes toward the death penalty. Then, during the experiment, films produced ...
Conjoint Use of Regression Analysis and Functional Measurement to Test Models of Combination of Factors Predicting Negative Attitude to Women Bugay, Asli; Delevi, Rakel; Mullet, Etienne (Editorial Pontificia Universidad Javeriana, 2019-01-01) The present study was aimed at showing that by conjointly using two techniques that are rarely used in combination - regression analysis and functional measurement, it may be possible to rigorously tests models of combination of factors using data obtained in traditional multi-item/multi-scale surveys. The data used for this demonstration were taken from a large survey (N = 3,235) of Turkish students' attitude to women (ATW). As it included 12 types of predictors (e.g., age, geographic location, score on co...
Political Orientations and Morality Judgments in the Turkish Context: Considering the Roles of the Needs for Cognition and Recognition Tekes, Burcu; İMAMOĞLU, EMİNE OLCAY; ÖZDEMİR, FATİH; Öner Özkan, Bengi (SAGE Publications, 2020-01-13) The aims of this study were to test: (a) the association of political orientations with morality orientations, specified by moral foundations theory, on a sample of young adults from Turkey, representing a collectivistic culture; and (b) the statistically mediating roles of needs for cognition and recognition in the links between political orientation and morality endorsements. According to the results (a) right-wing orientation and need for recognition were associated with all the three binding foundations...
Psychometric properties of Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal for a sample of education majors Gadzella, BM; Baloğlu, Mustafa (SAGE Publications, 2003-06-01) Psychometric properties of the Watson-Glaser Critical Thinking Appraisal, Form A, were computed for 135 education majors. Analyses of reliability (internal consistency and split-half) and validity (concurrent and predictive) showed that the scale was reliable and valid measuring critical thinking abilities for students majoring in education. The best predictors of the Educational Psychology course grades were the Inference and Deduction subscale scores.
Psychometric Evaluation of the College Adjustment Self-Efficacy Scale for Turkish University Students Orucu, Muge Celik; Demir, Ayhan Gürbüz (Hogrefe Publishing Group, 2011-01-01) The purpose of the study was to investigate the applicability of the College Adjustment Self-efficacy Scale (CASES) to a Turkish sample. The CASES (Hirose, Wada, & Watanabe, 1999) measures the degree of confidence in the basic skills necessary to complete one's college career. A total of 492 freshman students at Middle East Technical University aged 16-29 years filled in the Turkish translation of the CASES, which included 21 items. The alpha coefficient for the Turkish version of CASES was .82 and CASES co...
