Psychometric Properties of Adaptation of the Social Efficacy and Outcome Expectations Scale to Turkish

Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the psychometric properties of the Social Efficacy and Outcome Expectations Scale (SEOES) on Turkish. The sample group included two groups of university students (ns= 440, 359). The validity of the scale was assessed using exploratory factor analysis, confirmatory factor analysis and concurrent validity, and the reliability was assessed using Cronbach Alpha's internal consistency coefficient, test-retest method and item discrimination. The findings obtained from the exploratory factor analysis showed that 51.2 percent of total variance of the scale was explained and the scale consisted of two subdimensions like the original one. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated an acceptable fit to the data. The concurrent validity of the SEOES was respectively studied using (.65) Scale of Perceived Social Self-Efficacy; (.29) Satisfaction With Life Scale; and (-.36) UCLA Loneliness Scale. As for the scale's reliability, the internal consistency was determined to be .91; .92 for Social Efficacy Scale; and .81 for Outcome Expectations Scale. The results of test-retest result (.90) and the findings of item analysis showed that the items in Turkish version of the scales were compatible with the original one. The present results provide evidence supporting the validity and reliability Turkish version of the SEOES.

Fear of missing out (FoMO) mediate relations between social self-efficacy and life satisfaction

“…Therefore, they can also effectively cope with the problems they encounter in electronic social environments. Individuals who have established successful social relationships expect similar results in their subsequent social relationship experiences (Bakioğlu, 2020;Bakioglu & Turkum, 2017 ;Wright & Perrone, 2010).…”

“…Studies have demonstrated that social self-efficacy is negatively related academic stress, and interpersonal relationship stress (Chiu, 2014), internet addiction (Bakioğlu, 2020;Gazo et al, 2020;Severino & Craparob, 2013), loneliness (Bakioğlu, 2020;Gazo et al, 2020) pathological gambling (Passanisi et al, 2020), game addiction (Jeong & Kim, 2011), online game addiction (Duman & Ozkara, 2019), accepting external influence, and self-alienating (Satici et al, 2013), depression and shyness (Anderson & Betz, 2001). On the other hand, social self-efficacy is positively correlated perceived social support (Adams et al, 2019;Bakioğlu, 2020;Traş & Arslan, 2013), life satisfaction (Bakioglu & Turkum, 2017;Wright & Perrone, 2010), authentic living (Satici et al, 2013), and communication skills and interpersonal problem solving skills (Erözkan, 2013). A negative relationship was found between self-efficacy and FoMO (Erdoğan & Şanlı, 2019;Lee et al, 2020).…”

“…Studies have demonstrated that life satisfaction is positively related to self-esteem (Cobos-Sanchiz et al, 2020;Saad, 2020), social self-efficacy (Bakioglu & Turkum, 2017;Ditchman et al, 2017;Jeon, 2016;Jian et al, 2018;Zamani & Shirazi, 2020), perceived social support (Cobos-Sanchiz et al, 2020;Malinauskas, 2010), optimism (Oriol et al, 2020;Türküm, 2005), self-control, and positive affection (Oriol et al, 2020). On the other hand, there are negative correlations between life satisfaction and psychological distress (Cobos-Sanchiz et al, 2020;Satici et al, 2020;Zhang et al, 2020), loneliness (Bakioglu & Turkum, 2017;Mellor et al, 2008), impulsivity, problematic video gaming (Cudo et al, 2020), and negative affectation (Deniz et al, 2012). Studies have shown that as individuals' social self-efficacy increases (starting and maintaining social relationships, etc.…”

Üniversite Öğrencilerinde Sosyal Yeterliğin Algılanan Sosyal Destek Açısından İncelenmesi

“…Sosyal yeterlik, bireyin sosyal ilişki başlatma ve sürdürmek konusunda becerilerine güvenmesi ve kendisini yeterli görmesidir (Bakioğlu ve Türküm, 2017;Wright, Wright ve Jenkins-Guarnieri, 2013). Sosyal yeterlik bireyin içinde yer aldığı toplumun ve kültürün öğrenilmesi yoluyla gerçekleşmektedir.…”

“…Sosyal yeterlik pek çok kişisel özellikle ilişkili bir alan olarak görülmektedir. Yapılan araştırmalarda, Sosyal yeterlik, yalnızlık (Bakioğlu ve Türküm, 2017;Hermann ve Betz, 2006) ve depresyon (Ahmad, Yasien ve Ahmad, 2014) ile negatif yönde, yaşam doyumu (Bakioğlu ve Türküm, 2017;Wright ve Perrone, 2010), öz saygı (Hermann ve Betz, 2006) ve problem çözme becerileri (Erözkan, 2013) ile pozitif yönde ilişkili bulunmuştur. Ancak sosyal yeterlik kavramının anlaşılması adına daha fazla sayıda araştırma yapılması ve kavram hakkında açıklamaların yapılması gerekli görülmektedir.…”
