EXAMINATION OF PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES OF THE HOST COMMUNITY ACCULTURATION SCALE'S TURKISH VERSION ON A UNIVERSITY STUDENTS' SAMPLE EV SAHİBİ TOPLULUK KÜLTÜRLEŞME ÖLÇEĞİ (ETKÖ) TÜRKÇE FORMUNUN PSİKOMETRİK ÖZELLİKLERİNİN ÜNİVERSİTE ÖĞRENCİ ÖRNEKLEMİNDE İNCELENMESİ
Studies found that the quality of the relationship which immigrants established with the host community affected the well-being of both groups. The aim of this study was to examine the Host Community Acculturation Scale by Bourhis et al. (2016) when applied to a Turkish sample and to bring in a Turkish measurement tool to our country that may contribute to scientific studies in terms of identification of potential psychological problems that may occur during the acculturation process. Bourhis et al. (2016) developed the Host Community Acculturation Scale, which reflects the anticipation of immigrants regarding the host community, based on the Interactive Acculturation Model. The scale consists of 18 items that are divided in six factors and each factor contains three items. These sub-factors are integration, individualism, assimilation, separation, exclusion and integration-transformation. In this study, scale items were applied to a sample of 302 university students and their psychometric properties were examined. Analyses indicate that the scale proved structure validity, convergent validity, and criterion-related validity. Reliability coefficients of subscales of the scale are substantially good. It is assumed that the Turkish version of the scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool and will contribute to the quantitative work to be done with immigrants in our country.
