Purpose

The purpose of this study is to develop a valid and reliable scale that can measure the level of respect for differences of middle school students. The validity and reliability studies of the scale draft prepared as a result of the opinions received were carried out on 964 middle school students.

Design/methodology/approach

The sequential exploratory mixed method was used. In the study, attitude items were created by examining the studies in the literature with qualitative methods, and the scale was then finalized by applying tests for the attitude scale prepared with quantitative methods.

Findings

As a result of the exploratory factor analysis made on the data obtained, a structure consisting of 20 items and four factors as “gender”, “disability status”, “physical appearance” and “cultural identity” were reached. Also, it was seen that the scale identified 56% of the total variance. Confirmatory factor analysis that was performed on another sample showed that the sample fit of the scale was at an acceptable level. The reliability coefficient of the scale was calculated as Cronbach’s α = 0.815; composite reliability was ranged between 0.766 and 0.894 and the internal consistency of the scale was quite high. It was concluded that the scale developed to determine the level of respect for differences is a valid and reliable measurement tool.

Originality/value

This study is considered significant in terms of presenting a valid and reliable scale that will reveal the attitudes of middle school students towards differences in the literature.

中学生尊重差异量表的制定：效度与信度研究

目的

本研究的目的是制定一个有效、可靠的量表来衡量中学生尊重差异的程度。根据收到的意见编制的量表草案对964名中学生进行了效度和信度研究。

设计/方法论/途径

采用序贯探索性混合方法。本研究通过定性方法研究文献研究来创建态度项目，然后通过对定量方法制备的态度量表进行测试最终确定量表。

发现

对所得数据进行探索性因素分析，得出由“性别”、“残疾状况”、“外貌”和“文化认同”4个因素20个项目组成的结构。此外，还发现该量表确定了总方差的 56%。对另一个样本进行的验证性因素分析表明，量表的样本拟合处于可接受的水平。计算该量表的信度系数为Cronbach's α = 0.815；综合信度介于0.766～0.894之间，量表内部一致性较高。结论是，为确定尊重差异程度而制定的量表是一种有效且可靠的测量工具。

原创性/价值

这项研究被认为具有重要意义，因为它提供了一个有效且可靠的量表，可以揭示中学生对文献差异的态度。
