  Cultural adaptation and psychometric validation of the Azerbaijani version of the Optimism Scale among university students

  Güngör, Sunay; Karimi, Kambiz

  In a dynamic society, instilling a sense of positive attitudes is crucial. Yılmaz and Balcı's (2002) The Optimism Scale was translated into Azerbaijani and its construct validity and reliability were tested using a convenience sample of university students (n = 300, 18–24 years). cities. The sample was split for exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis. Findings showed cultural commonalities between Azerbaijani and Turkish societies, attested through shared factors such as religion and language. The scale showed high construct validity, high internal consistency (Cronbach's alpha =.869; McDonald's omega =.867), and convergent validity (r =.41 with measures of happiness). It supports usability of the scale in Azerbaijan. Future studies should explore structural characteristics of the scale among different populations and age brackets.

  Güngör, Sunay; Ersanli, Ercumend; Karimi, Kambiz; Öztürk, Mesut

  In this study, we culturally adapted the Philanthropy Scale for Iranian university students, assessing its validity and reliability. Our sample included 600 students from Tehran and Tabriz universities. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) validated the three-factor model, demonstrating excellent fit values. Internal consistency, measured by Cronbach's Alpha, was alpha = .838 for the total score. Sub-dimensions had values of alpha = .812 (not being self-seeking and being sincere), alpha = .745 (love and unconditional acceptance), and alpha = .689 (honesty). Spearman-Brown correlation coefficients, assessed via the split-half method, were r = .825 for the total score, r = .757 (not being self-seeking and being sincere), r = .705 (love and unconditional acceptance), and r = .769 (honesty). These results signify robust reliability.
