Vineland Social-Emotional Early Childhood Scales -SEEC The Vineland Social-Emotional Early Childhood Scales -SEEC was developed in 1998 by Sara S. Sparrow, David A. Balla and Domenic V. Cicchetti. Vineland SEEC aims to evaluate the social-emotional development of children from birth to 5 years and 11 months. The aim of this study is to adapt the Vineland Social-Emotional Early Childhood Scale to the Turkish culture in the 0-4 age group. The research was carried out with the data obtained from the parents who were between 0-4 years of age in 2017-2018. The study group of the study population of 102 (0.0-0.11 months), 126 (1.0-1.11) months 172 (2.0-2.11), 129 (3.0-3.11), 155 (4.0 4.11) age group, totally 684 children and those who undertake care. SPSS 22 package program and Lisrel package programs were used in the study. Data collected through Vineland Social-Emotional Early Childhood Scale and Personal Information Form were analyzed through SPSS and Lisrel package programs. Language validity, scope validity, construct validity, AFA (exploratory factor analysis) and DFA (confirmatory factor analysis) were used for validity. The internal consistency coefficients of the Vineland Social-Emotional Early Childhood Scale (Cronbach's alpha value) are .78 in the Interpersonal Relationship Sub-scale and .88 in the Play and Leisure subscale in children from birth to one year. In the Interpersonal Relationship subscale, an .77 age for children is. In the Interpersonal Relationship subscale, it was .64 in the Interpersonal Relationship subscale and .64 in the Scale of Coping, and .83 in the Scale of Coping Skills. There were 62 sub-scales in the Interpersonal Relations subscale and .64, and the Coping Skills Scale in. The four-year-olds had .70 in the Interpersonal Relations subscale, .74 in the Play and Leisure subscales, and .80 in the Coping Skills Scale. With these studies, the validity and reliability of the scale for the usage of the scale in Turkish culture has been obtained and the scale has been introduced to be used for different studies that can be done with children.

This study aims to develop a scale to measure eight-grade secondary school students' attitudes towards individual peace. The items of the scale have been prepared by the researcher based on a literature review. The study sample included 223 eight grade students from different schools in the Mamak district of Ankara for the 2015-2016 school year. At the end of the analysis, the correlation coefficients obtained from item-factor total and adjusted correlation were found to be above .21 and all items were statistically significant. In the exploratory factor analysis (EFA), the scale items were split into four dimensions: "State before Peace", "Factors for Peace", "Factors for Sulking" and "Assitance in Peacemaking". The Chi-square (X2) value appropriate for the model developed based on the results of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) and statistical significance levels showed that the proposed model was appropriate for the collected data. Reliability coefficients tested for the whole scale and its sub-dimensions revealed that the scale was suitable to measure eight-grade secondary school students' attitudes towards peace. ÖzBu çalışmanın amacı, ortaokul sekizinci sınıf öğrencilerinin bireysel barışa yönelik tutumlarının belirlenmesinde kullanılacak bir ölçme aracı geliştirmektir. Ölçme aracının maddeleri araştırmacı tarafından ilgili alanyazın incelenerek hazırlanmıştır. Araştırmanın çalışma grubunu 2015-2016 öğretim yılının bahar döneminde Ankara İli Mamak İlçesinde bulunan okullarda öğrenim gören toplam 223 sekizinci sınıf öğrencisi oluşturmaktadır. Yapılan istatistikler sonucunda ölçeğin madde-faktör toplam ve düzeltilmiş korelasyonlarında elde edilen korelasyon katsayıları .21’in üzerinde olduğu ve tüm maddelerin istatiksel olarak anlamlı olduğu saptanmıştır. Yapılan açımlayıcı faktör analizi (AFA) sonucunda ölçek maddeleri; “Barışma Öncesi Durum”, “Barışma İçin Etmenler”, “Küsme İçin Etmenler” ve “Barışmada Yardım” olmak üzere dört boyutta toplanmıştır. Çalışma kapsamında yapılan doğrulayıcı faktör analizi (DFA) sonuçlarına göre ölçek için oluşturulan modele uygun Ki-kare (X2) değeri ve istatistikî anlamlılık düzeyleri, önerilen modelin toplanan verilere uygun olduğunu göstermiştir. Ölçeğin geneline ve alt boyutlarına yönelik test edilen güvenirlik katsayıları, ortaokul sekizinci sınıf öğrencilerinin bireysel barışa yönelik tutumlarını ölçmede kullanılabilecek nitelikte olduğunu ortaya koymuştur.
