摘要：The aim of this study is to develop a scale to determine attitudes towards social
networks. During the development phase of the scale, 55 items were created and
presented to experts. Experts demand that 2 items be removed from the scale.
The 53 item draft scale was applied to 270 persons as a preliminary experiment
group in the age range of 18-53 years. In order to determne
the valdty
of the
structure of the scale, exploratory factor analyss
was carred
out by analyss
of
basc
components. As a result of these analyzes, a scale consstng
of 40 tems
whch
explans
56.650% of total varance
wth
6 factors (request, preference,
communcaton,
aff ecton,
socalzaton,
frendshp)
was obtaned.
The relablty
coeff cent
of all the scales was Cronbach α = .95. As a result of the prelmnary
test, t
was revealed that the tems
were understandable and that a few expressons
were requred.
By makng
the necessary changes ,the data collecton
devce
has
the fnal
structure .The scale’s average was calculated as 3.13, medan
3.20 and
standard devaton
.72. Having the KMO value above .90 , datas are considered
to be so convenient for factor analysis. Moreover, after Barlett’s test X2
value
7164.145 (p <.001) indicates that the scale is convenient for factor analysis. The
results obtained prove scale to be valid and reliable.
