Abstract
Araştırmanın amacı Evlilik Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeğini Türkçeye uyarlamak, geçerlik ve güvenirliğini incelemektir. Araştırma 336 evli birey üzerinde yapılmıştır. Yapı geçerliği için açımlayıcı ve doğrulayıcı faktör analizi yapılmıştır. Ölçeğin güvenirliğini belirlemek için Cronbach Alpha formülü kullanılmıştır. Ayrıca ölçeğin madde analizi için t-testi ve düzeltilmiş madde-toplam korelasyonuna bakılmıştır. Açımlayıcı faktör analizi sonucu ölçeğin orijinal versiyonunda olduğu gibi 5 maddeli tek faktörlü bir yapı elde edilmiştir. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonucu ki-kare değerinin (X² = 7.08 SD = 5, p = 0.21) anlamlı, diğer uyum indekslerinin de (RMSEA = .03, AGFI = .97, NFI = .99, NNFI = 1.00, CFI = 1.00, IFI = 1.00, RFI = .99, GFI = .99 ve SRMR = .01) kabul edilebilir düzeyde olduğu bulunmuştur. Doğrulayıcı faktör analizi sonuçları incelendiğinde ölçeğin Türkçe formunun ölçeğin orijinal faktör yapısına uygun ve kabul edilebilir uyum indeksleri verdiği görülmektedir. Ölçeğin güvenirliğini belirlemek için yapılan analiz sonucu iç tutarlılık katsayısı .85 bulunmuştur. Bu bağlamda ölçeğin iç tutarlılık güvenirlik katsayısının yeterli düzeyde olduğu düşünülebilir. Madde analizi için yapılan t-testi sonuçlarının 10,80 (p<.001) ile 23.98 (p<.001) arasında olduğu bulunmuştur. Düzeltilmiş madde toplam korelasyonlarının ise 0.30 ile 0.82 arasında sıralandığı görülmüştür. Madde analizi için incelenen t-testi ve düzeltilmiş madde-toplam korelasyonu sonuçlarının anlamlı olduğu görülmektedir (p<.001). Ayrıca, madde analizi sonucu elde edilen bulgular ölçeğin maddelerinin, ayırt edici özelliğe sahip olduğunu göstermektedir. Elde edilen sonuçlar genel olarak değerlendirildiğinde Evlilik Yaşam Doyumu Ölçeğinin Türkçe versiyonunun geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçme aracı olduğu sonucuna ulaşılabilir.

Abstract
Aim of research is examine validity and reliability of Turkish version of the Married Life Satisfaction Scale. Participants are 336 married individuals. For structure validity, explanatory and confirmatory factor analyze were used. Cronbach’s Alpha formula was used for determine the reliability of the scale. Furthermore, t-test and corrected item-total correlation were used for item analysis. The results of exploratory factor analysis demonstrated that five items loaded on single-factors and that the factor structure was harmonized with the factor structure of the original structure of scale. Confirmatory factor analysis, chi-square (x²= 7.08 df= 5, p= 0.21) significantly, while indices of fit RMSEA= .03, AGFI= .97, NFI= .99, NNFI= 1.00, CFI= 1.00, IFI= 1.00, RFI= .99, GFI= .99, and SRMR= .01 was found. The accordance indexs from the confirmatory factor analysis are consistent with both the goal level, and the original form. The scale’s internal consistency was .85. T-test results are significant, which results are related to the difference of lower 27% and upper 27% groups, that established in accordance to the total points of test. In the result of the item analysis, corrected item-total correlations are ranged from a low of 0.30 to a high of 0.82; and T –test values are ranged from a low of 10,80 (p<.001) to a high of 23.98 (p<.001). Corrected item-total correlations and T –test values are statistically significantl at the p< 0.01 level. These findings show that the Turkish version of the Married Life Satisfaction Scale is a valid and reliable instrument.
