%0 Journal Article %T Development of the Parentified Child Scale- Adult Version: A Reliability and Validity Study %A Tolga ZENC£¿R %J - %D 2019 %X This study aims to develop a scale that can measure parentification levels for adults in a valid and reliable way. A total of 705 people (510 females, 195 males) participated in the study. The Filial Responsibility Scale-Adult Version developed by Jurkovic, Thirkield and Morel (2001), adopted to Turkish by Karag£¿bek (2014) was used for Convergent and Discrimant Validity. It was found that the Parentified Child Scale Adult Version (PCS-A) scale consists of two sub-scales and the first sub-scale has four factors and the second sub-scale has one factor through explanatory and confirmatory factor analysis. The Cronbach Alpha coefficient of PCS-A is found as .88. The item total correlation coefficients were between .37 and .71. Confirmatory factor analysis of the first sub-scale of the scale shows that 22 items had four factors and the chi-square fit ( c 2=506.42, df=203, p=.00) was significant. The c 2/df result for model fit was determined to be 2.49. In addition, RMSEA = .073, CFI = .95, NFI = .92, NNFI = .94, IFI = .95, RFI.91 and GFI = .86 were calculated. The test-retest correlation coefficient was found to be .91. The relationship between the PCS-A and the FRS was analysed as .81. The results suggest that Parentified Child Scale-Adult Version is a valid and reliable instrument %K Ebeveynle£¿me %K Ebeveynle£¿mi£¿ £¿ocuk %K Yeti£¿kin %K Ebeveynle£¿mi£¿ £¿ocuk £¿l£¿e£¿i %U http://dergipark.org.tr/cuefd/issue/44511/443707
