OpenAlex İngilizce

This study aims to examine psychometric properties of adapted version of the Self-Report Aggression and Social Behavior Measure (SRASBM) in different Turkish samples.In order to test the psychometric properties of the SRASBM two separate and independent samples are used in this study, namely community sample of adults (n = 781) and student sample (n = 446).For testing the construct validity of SRASBM, exploratory factor analysis is performed on community sample of adults in Study 1. Further, confirmatory factor analysis is performed on student sample in Study 2. Concerning the reliability of the scale, internal consistency and item-total correlation coefficients have been examined.Concurrent validity of the scale is supported by revealing the significant associations of Aggression, Victimization, Prosocial Behavior and Exclusivity subscales of SRASBM with impulsivity, emotional neglect and abuse, perspective taking, physical and verbal aggression, hostility and anger.Four-factor solution model reveals adequate fit for the student sample.Results of the study are discussed within the scope of relevant literature.Limitations and suggestions for future studies are mentioned.
