Abstract
This study aims to evaluate the validity and reliability of the Emotional Abuse Questionnaire (EAQ) in Turkish. This psychometric study was conducted between 01/02/2021 and 31/04/2021, with 341 adolescents aged 12-19. Data were analyzed with SPSS and LISREL programs. Language validity of EAQ was determined to be appropriate after translation-back translation and expert opinion. The sample adequacy calculated for the EAQ was evaluated as very good Kaiser Mayer Olkin (KMO = 0.94, X2 = 4104,42). In the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), of the EAQ revealed that 29 of the 30 items were suitable for Turkish society, they preserved their 6-factor structure, and the factor loads of the items ranged from 0.40 to 0.87. and the CFA fit index values were within acceptable limits/perfect fit limits. In this study, Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was found to be 0.94. The two half reliability levels of the scale were evaluated as 0.91. A strong and highly significant positive correlation was observed in the test-retest results (r = 0.92). Turkish adaptation of EAQ; It was concluded that it has sufficient internal reliability and validity to be able to evaluate emotional abuse and can be easily applied.
