- Abstract
This study is carried out in order to develop the Learned Meaninglessness Scale (LMS) and examine its psychometric properties. 815 university students in total, 64,78% female and 35,2% male, participated in this study. Five study groups are formed during the development of the scale. The first study group consist s of 150 students in order to form the item pool; the second study group consists of 53 students that are reached to determine item-total test correlations; the third study group consists of 333 students that are reached to test the construct validity of the scale; the fourth study group consists of 238 students that are reached to test the adaptive values of the model formed; the fifth study group consists of 41 students that are reached to measure test - retest reliability of the scale. The LMS is five point Likert scale consisting of 23 items. Exploratory factor analysis is made in order to test the construct validity of the scale and the scale is found to consist of two factors. These two factors explain 54,21% of the total variance. These factors are called "Meaninglessness" a nd "Search for Meaning". In consequence of Confirma tory Fa ctor Ana lysis, the two -factor model related to the scale adjusts well. Cronba ch's a lfa interna l consistency coefficient tha t is ca lcula ted to test the relia bility of the sca le is .94, split-half reliability coefficient is .89 for the first half, .89 for the second half, test -retest correlation coefficient is .93. These results show that the Learned Meaninglessness Scale that is developed is valid and reliable.
