Obsesif Güvensizlik Ölçeği’nin Türkçeye uyarlanması ve psikometrik özelliklerinin incelenmesi
Adaptation of the Obsessive Distrust Inventory to Turkish and investigation of its psychometric properties

Summary/Abstract: Obsessive distrust is conceptualized as an additional domain of relationship and partner-oriented obsessive-compulsive symptoms. The aim of this study was to adapt the Obsessive Distrust Inventory designed to assess symptoms of obsessive distrust into Turkish and investigate its psychometric properties. The study sample consisted of 420 (227 females and 193 males) participants aged between 18-59 and stated that they were in an ongoing romantic relationship. Participants were asked to fill the scale set containing the Obsessive Distrust Inventory, Obsessive Compulsive Inventory-Revised Form, Obsessive Beliefs Questionnaire-9, Relationship Obses-sions and Compulsion Inventory, and Partner-Related Obsessive-Compulsive Symptoms Inven-tory via the internet. According to the results of the confirmatory factor analysis, the factor struc-ture of the Obsessive Distrust Inventory was found to be compatible with the one-factor structure of the original scale. Other analyzes showed that the scale had a satisfactory level of convergent and discriminant validity. At the same time, the internal consistency coefficient, the split-half test correlations, and the Spearman-Brown coefficient showed that the scale had reliability values consistent with those of the original scale. This study demonstrated that the Obsessive Distrust Inventory meets the requirements of a valid and reliable measurement instrument and is suitable for use in the Turkish sample, allowing for cross-cultural comparison.
