@article{2017,title={USE OF CONFİRMATORY FACTOR ANALYSIS IN SCALE DEVELOPMENT STUDIES},abstractNode={The İmportance of Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) which is a kind of Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) is increased. It is commonly used, especially, in the studies made in the areas of social sciences and with intend to be suppiied structure validity in the scales. The structure built on variances of directly unobservable (secret) and observable to be supplied validity has needed to be determined its truencess with help of datum. Being a theoretical Structure of Confirmatory Factor Analysis reveals that it is a difficult analysis in terms of practice. In this study, it is aimed to do compilation study on Confirmatory Factor Analysis used in the studies of scale development. The basis in the compilation study; it isdetermined to being combed the studies made the analysis in the areas of social Sciences and educational Sciences, the importance and the aim in the studies of scale development of Confirmatory Factor Analysis. Moreover, it is proffered information about fit indices to be to determine rapport of model, being explanied required terms to be understandable of Confirmatory Factor Analysis. After the required conditions to Confirmatory Factor Analysis have been explanied, it is given information about steps of the analysis. Some examples from literature are included with intend to embody frame about usage and steps of this analysis.},author={Faruk AYLAR-- Nagihan EVCİ},year={2017},journal={The Journal of Social Sciences}}
