The aim of the present study was to examine the validity and reliability of the two forms of the Ruminative Response Scale (RRS) proposed by Nolen-Hoeksema and Morrow (1991) and Treynor, Gonzalez, and Nolen-Hoeksema (2003). In addition to The Ruminative Response Scale (RRS), the Beck Depression Inventory (BDI) was administered to a sample of 387 Turkish university students in order to test the criterion validity as suggested by previous studies. The results of confirmatory factor analysis revealed good fit indices for the long and short version of the scale. The findings showed satisfactory internal consistency coefficients (Cronbach Alpha) and high convergent validity for both the two forms the scale. Results are discussed in light of the related literature.

The short version of ruminative response scale: reliability, validity and its relation to psychological symptoms Erdur Baker, Özgür (2010-04-25) This study was designed to examine structural validity and reliability of short version of The Ruminative Response Scale (RRS) developed by Treynor, Gonzalez, and Nolen-Hoeksema (2003). Participants were 549 (307 girls, 242 boys) volunteering high school students. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), Internal Consistency Coefficient (Cronbach Alpha), and Convergent validity were used to assess cross-cultural equivalence of this particular instrument. Based on these results, The Ruminative Response Scale appe...
Turkish Version of the Dyadic Almost Perfect Scale: Reliability and Validity Bugay, Asli; KALKAN, MELEK; Delevi, Rakel (2016-07-01) The present study examined the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Dyadic Almost Perfect Scale (DAPS). The Turkish version of DAPS and Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS) was administered to 263 (157 female and 104 male) Turkish university students and 2 participants didn't specify their gender. Internal reliability was calculated and Cronbach's a coefficients ranged between .87 and .90. Criterion validity (Pearson correlation) between the DAPS and the MPS ranged from .27 to .50. A...

An inter-annotator agreement measurement methodology for the Turkish Discourse Bank (TDB) Yalçınkaya, Şaban İhsan; Zeyrek Bozşahin, Deniz; Department of Cognitive Sciences (2010) In the TDB[1]-like corpora annotation efforts, which are constructed by the intuitions of the annotators, the reliability of the corpus can only be determined via correct interannotator agreement measurement methodology (Artstein, & Poesio, 2008). In this thesis, a methodology was defined to measure the inter-annotator agreement among the TDB annotators. The statistical tests and the agreement coefficients that are widely used in scientific communities, including Cochran’s Q test (1950), Fleiss’ Kappa (1971...
