The Validity and Reliability Study for the Turkish Version of the Social Efficacy and Social Outcome Expectations ScaleAbstract: The aim of this study is to investigate the validity and reliability of the Turkish Version of the Social Efficacy and Social Outcome Expectations Scale (Wright, Wright, & Jenkins-Guarnieri, 2013). The sample of study consists of 295 (177 female, 118 male) university students. Exploratory factor analysis revealed that the value of Kiser-meyer-Olkin (KMO) measure of sampling adequacy is .95 and a significant result is on Bartlett's test of sphericity χ2 = 3155.501 (p<.001). Results of confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the eighteen items loaded on two factors: x²= 308.07, df= 132, RMSEA= .067, CFI= .94, IFI= .94, GFI= .90, SRMR= .045. The Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficients were found as .93 for social efficacy expectations, as .88 for social outcome expectations, and as .94 for overall scale. The corrected item-total correlations of Social Efficacy and Social Outcome Expectations Scale ranged from .57 to .74. These results demonstrate that this scale is a valid and reliable instrument.
