ALABAMA EBEVEYN DAVRANIġLARI ÖLÇEĞĠ 'NĠN TÜRKÇE'YE UYARLANMASI: GEÇERLĠK VE GÜVENĠRLĠK ÇALIġMASI.

This research aims to adapt Alabama Parenting Questionnaire (APQ), developed by Frick (1991), into Turkish. Confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) and reliability and validity analyses were conducted. CFA results revealed the fit indices as RMSEA=.04, NFI=.79, CFI=.90 ve GFI=.85. Significant differences in the subfactors were identified with the samples of parents seeking psychological help and parents not seeking psychological help from psychiatry clinics, guidance and research centers and school counseling services (p< .05). These indicate that the APQ is a valid and reliable instrument for the Turkish culture. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
