In this study, the reliability and validity of Experiences in Close Relationships-Revised (ECR-R), a scale developed to measure adult attachment dimensions, were examined in a Turkish student sample. Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses revealed that ECR-R has a two-factor solution representing attachment-related avoidance and attachment-related anxiety. The relationships of avoidance and anxiety dimensions with the related variables support the validity of ECR-R. Moreover, it is found that the dimensions measured by ECR-R have high internal consistency and test-retest reliability. In light of these findings, it is suggested that researchers use ECR-R, which has higher measurement precision as compared to other scales, in the assessment of adult attachment.

Examining the Reliability and Validity of the Turkish Version of the Trait Meta-Mood Scale
Bugay, Aslı; Aksöz, Idil; Erdur Baker, Özgür (2014-06-01)
The aim of the study was to investigate the reliability and validity of the Trait Meta-Mood Scale in a Turkish sample. Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS), The Satisfaction with Life Scale (SWLS), Ruminative Response Scale (RRS), and Beck Depression Inventory (BDI)were administered to 387 (271 females and 113 males) university students with a mean age of 21.77 (SD = 1.65).In the present study, the Turkish model and the original model of TMMS were tested to examine which of the two model yields the better goodness ...
AN INTERFEROMETRIC TECHNIQUE FOR MEASURING MICRON LEVEL CLEARANCES FILLED WITH A LUBRICANT
Yildirim, Murat; Dursunkaya, Zafer; Okutucu Özyurt, Hanife Tuba (2010-10-20)
The aim of this study is to develop an interferometric technique to measure micron level clearances occurring in small piston-cylinder arrangements; such as hermetically sealed compressors. A Cartesian model of the piston cylinder arrangement is manufactured and lateral and vertical motions are generated via a step motor, and micrometers, respectively, to simulate the piston motion and the change of clearance during the motion. Experiments are conducted in air and a lubricant. Measurements show the importan...
A VALIDATION STUDY OF GOAL ORIENTATIONS AND SELF-EFFICACY SCALES
Acarlar, Gizem; Bilgiç, Reyhan (2010-12-01)
The aim of the current study was to investigate the validity and reliability of goal orientation and self-efficacy scales. The scales were administered to 264 university students (154 from engineering departments, 110 from business administration). Two samples were used. In the first sample, the original factor model was tested with confirmatory factor analysis. In the second sample, the Turkish versions of the scales were factor analyzed. Principal components analysis resulted in three components for the G...
A Meta-Synthesis Study Identifying the Landscapes of Pre- and In-service Math Teachers' Knowledge in the Turkish Context
GULMEZ-DAG, Gulcin; Yıldırım, Ali (2016-01-01)
This study aims to present a synthesis of empirical studies conducted in Turkey on pre- and in-service math teachers' knowledge and to recapitulate the existing conceptualization in this particular line of research in the local context. Considering the interwoven and sophisticated nature of teachers' knowledge (Seidel & Shavelson, 2007), it sets out to enhance the understanding on what constitutes and should constitute these math teachers' knowledge by discovering the frequently studied research strands in ...
