“…It is not uncommon for scale dimensions to change in cross-cultural validation ( 64 , 65 ). The new dimension that emerged was reflected in the initial MPQ design ( 34 , 50 ) but suggests that the Chinese view flexibility differently.…”

ObjectiveThis study aims to explore Chinese university students’ multicultural personalities and examine how they predict the psychological adjustment of students in Shanghai. In addition, the validation of Multicultural Personality Questionnaire Short Form (MPQ-SF) scale developed to assess the multicultural personality traits of individuals is also aimed in Chinese context. Data were collected after the psychological stresses from restrictions imposed by COVID-19 in China that influenced life adjustments for nearly three years.MethodA total of 1,099 university students participated in this multi-stage study. First, the Chinese version of MPQ-SF (MPQ-SF-C) was developed and validated. The impact of MPQ-SF-C dimensions was then tested through path analysis to establish the effects of Chinese university students’ multicultural personality traits on their psychological adjustment using the Schwartz Outcome Scale (SOS-10).ResultsThe MPQ-SF-C yielded a five-factor solution which accounted for 60.14% of the common variance. The findings indicated that cultural empathy (β = 0.23, p < 0.05), certainty seeking (β = 0.13, p < 0.05), open-mindedness (β = 0.48, p < 0.05), and emotional stability (β = 0.24, p < 0.05) had significant influences on adjustment. Only flexibility was found to have a statistically insignificant impact on adjustment at this time in this context. MPQ-SF-C and SOS-10 scales represented very good psychometric properties in terms of their reliability and validity.ConclusionThe MPQ-SF-C shows good psychometric properties and appropriateness for evaluating multicultural personalities in Chinese contexts. The multicultural personality characteristics of university students using this scale well predicted their psychological adjustment.

“…An EFA was conducted in order to test the factor structure of the ELES. In cross-cultural studies, researchers may use both EFA and CFA (e.g., Bahar-Özvarıs ¸et al, 2022;Ma et al, 2022;Ulas ¸-Kılıç, 2021). Researchers typically employ EFA before CFA to determine whether a scale's factor structure may raise questions about its validity or generalizability if the original factor structure cannot be confirmed (Van Prooijen & Van Der Kloot, 2001).…”

Undergraduate students' learning experiences are thought to have a significant impact on their future career choices. The Engineering Learning Experience Scale (ELES) was created within the framework of Social Cognitive Career Theory to accurately evaluate learning experiences arising from direct or indirect learning activities in or out of school. The purpose of this research is to adapt and validate the ELES in Turkish. The scale was given to two groups of engineering students from a large public university in Turkey. In order to provide evidence of the reliability and validity of the scale, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were employed to analyze the psychometric properties of the instrument. According to the confirmatory factor analyses, the correlated four-factor model suited the data well. This study strengthens the standing of the ELES as a useful measurement tool in the field of engineering.

Bu çalışmada, ergenlerin kültürlerarası duyarlılık düzeyini geçerli ve güvenilir bir şekilde ölçen bir ölçme aracı geliştirmek amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaçla açımlayıcı faktör analizi için 675, doğrulayıcı faktör analizi için 445 ve test tekrar test güvenirliği için 73 olmak üzere toplam 1094 ortaokul öğrencisi çalışma grubunu oluşturmuştur. Ölçek madde havuzu oluşturulurken ilkokul ve ortaokul ders kitaplarında kültür kavramının nasıl ele alındığı, bu amaç için geliştirilmiş ölçme araçları, alanyazın, öğrenci, uzman ve saha çalışanlarının görüşlerinden yararlanarak 40 maddelik bir form oluşturulmuştur. İlk uygulama sonucunda elde edilen veriler üzerinde yapılan açımlayıcı faktör analizi (AFA) ve uzman görüşü sonucunda 26 madde çıkarılmış, geriye kalan maddelerden oluşan yapının toplam varyansın %41.53’ünü açıkladığı tespit edilmiştir. AFA sonucunda 14 maddeden oluşan ölçme aracının ‘Kültüre Açıklık’ ve ‘Saygı’ olmak üzere iki alt boyuttan oluştuğu tespit edilmiştir. Yapılan ikinci uygulama sonucunda elde edilen veriler üzerinde yapılan doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) sonucunda ölçeğe ait uyum iyiliği değerlerinin [χ2/sd = 2.17; RMSEA= .05; GFI = .95; AGFI = .93; CFI = .96; NFI= .95; IFI= .96; SRMR = .04] olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ölçeğin güvenirlik düzeyini tespit etmek için yapılan Cronbach alfa iç tutarlılık katsayısının .77, test tekrar test güvenirliğinin .84 olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu veriler, Ergenler İçin Kültürlerarası Duyarlılık Ölçeği’nin (EİKDÖ) ortaokul öğrencilerinin kültürlerarası duyarlılık düzeyini tespit etmede geçerli ve güvenilir bir araç olduğunu göstermektedir.
