- Abstract
This study aims to create an inventory to determine the power sources used by preschool children and to bring this inventory to the literature by conducting the necessary validity and reliability study. Participants were selected through maximum variation sampling method. The teachers of 346 children attending pre-school education in different regions of Turkey in the 2021-2022 academic years were included in the study. The validity of the inventory was tested with EFA and CFA. As a result of the EFA analysis, a four-factor structure was obtained. The total number of items for these four factors is 21. The factors obtained were named as charismatic power, coercive power, helplessness power and reward power. The inventory we developed explains 68.26% of the total variance. The fit indices obtained in the CFA are acceptable. The result of the Cronbach's alpha analysis performed to determine the internal consistency of the inventory showed that the reliability coefficients of the inventory were acceptable as well. As a result, it has been shown that "The Inventory of Resources of Power Used by Pre-School Children" is a valid and reliable assessment tool.
