@article{2017,title={ADAPTATION OF CHILDBEARING MOTIVATIONS SCALE INTO TURKISH: A VALIDITY AND RELIABILITY STUDY},abstractNode={The aim of this study is to adapt Childbearing Motivations Scale (CMS) developed by Guedes, Pereira, Pires, Carvalho ve Canavarro (2013) into Turkish. The scale was conducted to 107 (56 female ve 51 male) university students at European University of Lefke, Psychology Department. For construct validity, exploratory factor analysis were conducted. According to the exploratory factor analysis result, 35 items of the scale generated three factors and these three factors explained 72,8 % of total variance. The factor loadings of items changed between 0,56 and 0,85. The reliability study indicated that the Cronbach Alpha coefficent of the scale was found to be 0,916. For criterion validity, Barnett Liking of Children Scale (Duyan and Gelbal, 2008) was used. The Pearson product moment correlation between these two scales was calculated as 0.73 (p<.01). As a result of this study, it has been found that Guedes, Pereira, Pires, Carvalho ve Canavarro Childbearing Motivations Scale is a valid and reliable instrument for young population of Turkish society.},author={Anjelika HÜSEYİNZADE ŞİMŞEK},year={2017},journal={The Journal of Social Sciences}}
