Ghosting is a newly studied term that is mostly used for online relationships. It is described as one of the methods used for breakups. As follows, the channels of communication are sharply ended without explanation.
This study aims to examine the psychometric properties of the Ghosting Questionnaire, which was developed to measure ghosting behavior, in Turkish culture. There are limited methods for quantitative research, as it has only recently found its place in the field. For the Turkish adaptation of the scale developed by Jahrami et al. (2023), a process consisting of translation, data collection, and analysis was followed.
The study group consisted of 200 adults aged 18-39 years, 160 (80%) of whom were female and 40 (20%) of whom were male. The factor structure, internal consistency, and convergent validity were examined within this study. The Ghosting Questionnaire's unidimensional structure was confirmed by CFA as part of the validity assessment. Cronbach's alpha was used to evaluate the scale's reliability.
The results of the exploratory factor analysis support the unidimensional structure as in the original scale. The confirmatory factor analysis results show that the fit indices are at acceptable levels (GFI = 0.97, CFI = 0.99, NFI = 0.97, RFI = 0.94, IFI = 0.99 and RMSEA = 0.03). Corrected item correlations ranged from 0.417 to 0.710. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient results show that the test is highly reliable (α = 0.86).
These findings suggest that the Turkish scale has appropriate psychometric validity and reliability and can be used to measure ghosting behavior in the Turkish sample.
“消失式分手”是一个新研究的术语，主要用于线上关系。它被描述为一种分手方式。具体来说，就是沟通渠道突然中断且没有任何解释。
本研究旨在检验“消失式分手问卷”在土耳其文化中的心理测量特性，该问卷是为测量消失式分手行为而编制的。由于它最近才在该领域崭露头角，定量研究方法有限。对于贾拉米等人（2023年）编制的量表的土耳其语改编版，遵循了翻译、数据收集和分析的过程。
研究样本包括200名年龄在18 - 39岁的成年人，其中160名（80%）为女性，40名（20%）为男性。本研究考察了该量表的因子结构、内部一致性和收敛效度。作为效度评估的一部分，通过验证性因子分析（CFA）证实了“消失式分手问卷”的单维结构。使用克朗巴哈α系数来评估该量表的信度。
探索性因子分析结果支持该量表与原量表一样具有单维结构。验证性因子分析结果表明，拟合指数处于可接受水平（GFI = 0.97，CFI = 0.99，NFI = 0.97，RFI = 0.94，IFI = 0.99，RMSEA = 0.03）。校正后的项目相关性在0.417至0.710之间。克朗巴哈α系数结果表明该测试具有高度信度（α = 0.86）。
这些发现表明，土耳其语版量表具有适当的心理测量效度和信度，可用于测量土耳其样本中的消失式分手行为。
