The aim of this study is to develop a scale regarding emotional literacy. Within the context of said intentions, totally 267 students who are demographically different and attending different levels of classes, 182 of which are girls and the other 87 are boys, were contacted. For construct validity of scale, Exploratory Factor Analysis was applied to the scale and three factor construct was finally revealed. Then, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was applied to the construct determined. As a result of CFA, adaptive values of Emotional Literacy Scale (ELS) are as follows: X2, 3.47; RMSEA, .06; CFI, .98; GFI, .95; NFI, .97; IFI, .99; RFI, .96 and AGFI, .93. In addition to CFA, Cronbach’s alpha internal consistency coefficients based on item analysis were scrutinized in order to detect reliability level of points yielded by ELS. Özet Bu araştırmanın amacı, duygusal okuryazarlıkla ilgili bir ölçek geliştirmektir. Bu amaçlar bağlamında, farklı demografik özelliklere sahip ve farklı sınıf düzeylerinde olan 182 kız ve 87 erkek olmak üzere toplam 269 öğrenciye ulaşılmıştır. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliliği için ölçeğe Açımlayıcı Faktör Analizi (AFA) uygulanmış ve sonucunda üç faktörlü yapı açığa çıkmıştır. Daha sonra, belirlenen yapıya Doğrulayıcı Faktör Analizi (DFA) yapılmıştır. Öncelikli olarak yapılan DFA sonucunda Duygusal Okuryazarlık Ölçeğinin (DOYÖ)uyum değerleri:X2, 3.47; RMSEA, .06; CFI,.98; GFI, .95;NFI, .97; IFI, .99; RFI, .96 ve AGFI, .93’tür. DFA’ya ek olarak, DOY֒nden elde edilen puanların ne derece güvenilir olduğunu değerlendirmek için madde analizine dayalı olarak hesaplanan Cronbach alfa iç-tutarlılık katsayılarına bakılmıştır.Downloads
