@article{2015,title={The Turkish version of the Social Vulnerability Scale: The study of validity and reliability},abstractNode={The aim of this research is to adapt the Social Vulnerability Scale (Pinsker, Stone, Pachana, & Greenspan, 2006) to Turkish and to examine its psychometric properties. The research was conducted on 631 university students in Sakarya University and Agri Ibrahim Cecen University. Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy of .95 and a significant result on Bartlett’s test of sphericity χ2 değeri 500,498 (p<.001, df=105). Results confirmatory factor analyses demonstrated that 15 items yielded two factor as original form and that the two-dimensional model was well fit (x²= 283.21, df= 84, RMSEA= .075, CFI= .99, IFI= .99, NFI= .98, RFI= .97, GFI= .92, SRMR= .043). Factor loadings ranged from .41 ile .91. Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient was found as .94 for whole scale, .87 for sub-dimension of gullibility, .93 for sub-dimension of credulity. In the concurrent validity significant relationships (r= .34) were found between the Social Vulnerability Scale and Psychological Vulnerability Scale. Test-retest reliability coefficient was .80 for whole scale. Corrected item-total correlations ranged from .38 to .87. Overall results demonstrated that Social Vulnerability Scale can be named as a valid and reliable instrument that could be used in the field of psychology and education.},author={ -Hakan Sarıçam},year={2015},journal={International Online Journal of Educational Sciences}}
