“…The values obtained show that the scale has good fit and acceptable fit values. χ 2 /sd ratio less than 5, IFI and CFI values greater than 0.90, RMSEA and SRMR values less than 0.10 are accepted as appropriate values for model fit (Okan et al., 2024 ; Schermelleh‐Engel et al., 2003 ; Çokluk et al., 2012 ; Şimşek, 2007 ). The obtained results showed that the ‘Post‐Disaster Coping Motivations Scale’ is a valid and reliable measurement tool.…”

ObjectivesThe aim of this study was to develop the Motivations for Coping After Disaster Scale. To test the construct validity of the scale, a total of 676 data were collected from three different sampling groups (N1: 388; N2: 194; N3: 94).MethodsExploratory Factor Analysis, Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and Criterion validity analysis were conducted to test the construct validity of the scale.ResultsAs a result of CFA, it was seen that the post‐disaster scale had a five‐dimensional structure (spiritual values, hope, friend support, solidarity, family support). The loadings of the items of the scale are at a good level. As a result of CFA, the scale was found to have acceptable and good fit indices (χ2/sd = 2.690; RMSEA (Root Mean Square Error of Approximation) = 0.066; SRMR (Standardized Root Mean Square Residual) = 0.047; CFI (Comparative Fit Index) = 0.948; GFI (Goodness of Fit Index) = 0.917). The results of the criterion validity analysis show that the scale has criterion validity. Cronbach Alpha internal consistency coefficient shows that the scale is highly reliable (Total = 0.923).ConclusionsThe results of this study show that the Post‐Disaster Coping Motivations Scale is a valid and reliable instrument. It is thought that the scale can make an important contribution to understanding psychological recovery processes after disaster and providing appropriate support to individuals.
