Development of a Turkish respect inventory for values education: Validity and reliability

The purpose of this study, a comprehensive format and a Likert scale to develop respect. For this purpose, a list was created by a broad review of the literature. In addition, 260 volunteer participants, "What do you respect?", "What do you think a sense of respect?", "Do you think respect is the behavior?" Were asked to answer questions? These open-ended questions and 70 answers given classified material formed. 5-grade Likert scale items and the scale format is built to be answered and the printing of instruction were made accordingly. Rating, 'No, not appropriate' (1), 'not very appropriate (2). apps (3), is quite appropriate (4), is completely appropriate (5) are made in the form and scored. 37 articles of the scale, flat, 33 percent expressed the opposite direction to be calculated and thus protected against response bias. These substances with the Guidance and Counseling Department of Educational Sciences expert group of 15 faculty members, giving a sense of respect and behavior, with the sentences that were asked about to what extent. Arrangements have been made in accordance with suggestions and criticisms from experts. 70-item scale used for this purpose, data from the determination of what substances they are statistically oriented works made a review of item analysis. As a result of the analysis applied to the second stage of this matter, the lower and upper end groups that can not be distinguished as a significant item in addition to 13, even if relatively low t values to distinguish item -total correlations.40's or below the scale were less than 10 items marked. Thus, the remaining 47 item scale, the lowest item - total correlation was.40, the t values of these substances varied between 3.64 and 10.16. In addition, internal consistency • =.88, while the pool of Article 70, Article 47 The internal consistency of the resulting scale was • =.91. In this way, with very high reliability of a new 47-item scale has been reached. © IDOSI Publications, 2012.
