Ghosting is a prevalent phenomenon in contemporary relationships, impacting all individuals involved. A measurement tool, the Ghosting Questionnaire, has recently been developed to assess experiences of ghosting. The objective of this study was to adapt the Ghosting Questionnaire for use in Turkish.
The adaptation process involved applying confirmatory factor analysis, measurement invariance analysis by gender, and item response theory, as well as reliability, criterion-related validity, and predictive validity analyses.
Confirmatory factor analysis affirmed the unidimensional, eight-item structure of the Ghosting Questionnaire. Measurement invariance analysis by gender indicated that the scale assesses the same constructs for both males and females. The results from the item response theory analysis demonstrated that the Ghosting Questionnaire possesses robust discriminatory power. Reliability coefficients indicated a high level of internal consistency for the scale. Additionally, ghosting was found to have significant correlations with various variables, including personality traits, positive affect, negative affect, loneliness, and relationship satisfaction. Notably, our findings revealed that negative affect and loneliness serve as serial mediators in the relationship between ghosting and relationship satisfaction.
The analyses confirm that the Ghosting Questionnaire is a measurement tool with strong psychometric properties.
“消失”是当代人际关系中普遍存在的现象，会影响所有相关个体。最近开发了一种测量工具——“消失”问卷，用于评估“消失”经历。本研究的目的是将“消失”问卷改编为土耳其语版本。
改编过程包括应用验证性因素分析、按性别进行测量不变性分析和项目反应理论，以及信度、效标关联效度和预测效度分析。
验证性因素分析证实了“消失”问卷的单维、八项结构。按性别进行的测量不变性分析表明，该量表对男性和女性评估的是相同的构念。项目反应理论分析结果表明，“消失”问卷具有强大的区分能力。信度系数表明该量表具有较高的内部一致性。此外，发现“消失”与各种变量存在显著相关性，包括人格特质、积极情绪、消极情绪、孤独感和关系满意度。值得注意的是，我们的研究结果表明，消极情绪和孤独感在“消失”与关系满意度之间的关系中起连续中介作用。
分析证实，“消失”问卷是一种具有强大心理测量特性的测量工具。
