The Turkish Adaptation of the Cultural Socialization Questionnaire (CSQ) in a Sample of Parents Experiencing Internal Migration.

Migrant parents assist their kids in adapting to the cultural environment, mostly through everyday talk. The present study investigated the validity and reliability of the Cultural Socialization Questionnaire (CSQ), developed by Hughes & Johnson (2001), in a sample of Turkish parents. All parents (N=141) migrated from small/rural to metropolitan/urban settlements in regions of Turkey. Parents completed the CSQ, the perceived discrimination scale, and a demographic information form. The results demonstrated that the Turkish version of the questionnaire has the same three-dimensional structure: pluralism, preparation for bias, and promotion of mistrust. CSQ's subscale scores significantly correlated with the parents' perceived discrimination and family demographic variables in expected directions. As findings suggest, the CSQ is a valid and reliable scale among internal migrant parents. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
