@article{2018,title={THE TURKISH ADAPTATION OF PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY SCALE (PRS): STUDY OF VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY},abstractNode={The responsibility that is seen as one of the most basic values that should be taught to schools is defined "the ability to define and organize one's own tho-ughts, feelings and behaviours; as a willingness to account for the consequen-ces of their choice or personal and social well-being ". The purpose of this re-search is adapting to Turkish the Personal Responsibility Scale (PRS) develo-ped by Mergler (2007). The working group is composed of 346 university students. After obtaining the required permissions from the author, the scale was translated into Turkish. After the necessary procedures, a 'test form' has been prepared and implemented. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA), Explo-ratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coeffi-cients were examined for validity and reliability studies of the scale. As a re-sult of the exploratory factor analysis, it was observed that the scale had a to-tal of 11 items which were determined to be a three-factor structure. 52.135% of the total variance explained and the eigenvalues was found 6%. In the con-firmatory factor analysis, the resulting structure was tested. CFA was conduc-ted to confirm the model for EFA. The x2/ sd (2.79) ratio showed excellent ag-reement in the analyzes made. In the CFA, compliance indices were examined and RMSA .70, GFI .94, AGFI .90, RMR .70, SRMR .06 and CFI .87 values were found to be valid.},author={Musa BOZKURT-- Cihat YAŞAROĞLU - Mehmet Siyabend KAYA},year={2018},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
