“…In the adaption of the scale into Turkish, the forward judgmental design translation method was used (Hambleton, Merenda & Spielberger, 2004). To ensure the compatibility of measurement tools across cultures, the use of confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) is recommended since factor structures need to be verified (Hedrih, 2019;Watkins, 1989). In addition to CFA, convergent and divergent validity measurements were also used to test the construct validity of the Turkish form of the scale.…”

Bu araştırmanın amacı, Tsai, Wang ve Hsu (2019) tarafından geliştirilen Bilgisayar Programlama Öz-yeterlik Ölçeğinin Türkçe diline uyarlanması, geçerlik ve güvenirlik sonuçlarının ortaya konulmasıdır. Araştırma, 297 lise ve üniversite öğrencisi ile yürütülmüştür. Orijinal ölçek 16 madde ve beş faktörden (Mantıksal Düşünme, İşbirliği, Algoritma, Kontrol ve Hata Ayıklama) oluşmaktadır. Ölçeğin yapı geçerliğinin test edilmesi için birinci ve ikinci düzey doğrulayıcı faktör analizleri yapılmıştır. Ayrıca yakınsak ve ıraksak geçerlik çalışmaları yürütülmüştür. Güvenirlik analizi sonucunda iç tutarlılık, test yarılama ve bileşik güvenirlik katsayılarının kabul edilebilir düzeyde olduğu görülmüştür. Alt faktörlere ve ölçeğin geneline ilişkin Cronbach Alfa iç tutarlılık katsayıları: Mantıksal düşünme için .877, İşbirliği için .813, Algoritma için .775, Kontrol için .906, Hata ayıklama için .812 ve ölçeğin geneli için .911 olarak bulunmuştur. Madde analizi sonucunda düzeltilmiş madde toplam korelasyonlarının .41 ile .63 arasında değiştiği, %27'lik alt ve üst gruplar arasındaki ortalama farklarının anlamlı olduğu görülmüştür. Sonuç olarak ölçeğin Türkçe formunun lise ve üstü öğrenim kademesindeki öğrencilerin bilgisayar programlama öz-yeterliklerinin ölçülmesi amacıyla kullanılabilecek geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu görülmüştür.

“…Ölçme araçlarının kültürler arası uyumunun sağlanmasında faktör yapılarının doğrulanması söz konusu olduğu için DFA'nın kullanılması önerilmektedir (Watkins, 1989). DFA ile testin orijinal versiyonunu ile hedef versiyonunun model uyumuna bakılmaktadır (Hedrih, 2019).…”

“…In psychology, cross-cultural study is the apparent and systematic comparison among psychological variables in various cultural conditions to identify characteristics, origins, and processes that exhibit behavioral differences [2]. As culture can define behaviors, expressions, utterances, and relationship [3], cultural differences result from physical, environmental, and situational differences which affect individual behaviors [4], [5]. All these lead to academic deviation in concepts, thoughts, and definitions in different cultures.…”

“…If the topic is about communication or non-verbal interpretation, the cultural comparison will be preceded more easily than the one with linguistic components. In general, to translate one instrument into a different language is insufficient in terms of measurement [3]. To illustrate this point, cultural differences are the main factors that affect instruments in different aspects including time, cultural effects, perspectives, and types of measurement [3].…”

The study examined the quality variations of psychometrics for cross-cultural research by considering structural validity, discrimination, and reliability. Participants consisted of 450 undergraduate students from Thailand, Indonesia, and Australia by using random sampling process. The instruments were driving aggression evaluative forms which contain 0.85 alpha coefficients. For statistics, researchers used mean, standard deviation, correlation coefficient among point-per-questions and total score, and Cronbach’s alpha. The result showed that the structural validity of the original evaluation form which was translated once from Thai to English and another one which was translated twice including Thai to English and English to Indonesian had similar total components and cumulative percentiles. Discrimination and correlation among point-per-questions met the criteria without differences. Every form had the level of reliability from Cronbach’s alpha analysis greater than the criteria.

Corruption is a psychosocial problem that has important implications for different areas of society. In psychology, this problem is usually studied through corrupt behavior. The aim of this study is thus to analyze the tests used to evaluate corrupt behavior from a psychological perspective. A systematic review was conducted following the standards of the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) 2020 statement of relevant studies published from 2000 to 2023 in Scopus, ScienceDirect and the Web of Science. We have therefore included empirical studies published in Spanish and English, synthesized their information using thematic analysis, and presented these results in a summary table. Specifically, we reviewed 696 articles and 63 relevant full-text articles, and 24 of these studies met the inclusion criteria. Accordingly, we have found that corrupt behavior has been evaluated through three types of tests: surveys, corruption scenarios, and bribery games. The main properties of these tests also vary according to the adopted theoretical framework, domain evaluated, rigor of evaluation, and sample characteristics. These findings can be used to determine the choice of a particular instrument or in the construction of another if the existing instruments are deemed inappropriate.
