Surveys02:16

Surveys

Often, psychologists develop surveys as a means of gathering data. Surveys are lists of questions to be answered by research participants, and can be delivered as paper-and-pencil questionnaires, administered electronically, or conducted verbally. Generally, the survey itself can be completed in a short time, and the ease of administering a survey makes it easy to collect data from a large number of people.
Reliability and Validity01:29

Reliability and Validity

Reliability and validity are two important considerations that must be made with any type of data collection. Reliability refers to the ability to consistently produce a given result. In the context of psychological research, this would mean that any instruments or tools used to collect data do so in consistent, reproducible ways.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology
  • Social Sciences
  • Relationship Studies

Background:

  • Ghosting, a recent term, describes abrupt communication cessation in online relationships.
  • It is recognized as a prevalent breakup method, causing distress due to lack of explanation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To examine the psychometric properties of the Ghosting Questionnaire in Turkish culture.
  • To validate a Turkish adaptation of the scale developed by Jahrami et al. (2023) for measuring ghosting behavior.

Main Methods:

  • Translation, data collection, and analysis were employed for the Turkish adaptation.
  • Exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses (CFA) assessed construct validity.
  • Internal consistency and reliability were evaluated using Cronbach's alpha.

Main Results:

  • Exploratory factor analysis confirmed a unidimensional structure, consistent with the original scale.
  • Confirmatory factor analysis yielded acceptable fit indices (e.g., GFI=0.97, CFI=0.99, RMSEA=0.03).
  • The Ghosting Questionnaire demonstrated high reliability (Cronbach's alpha = 0.86) with strong item correlations.

Conclusions:

  • The Turkish version of the Ghosting Questionnaire possesses adequate psychometric validity and reliability.
  • This validated scale is suitable for quantitative research on ghosting behavior in Turkish populations.
