@article{2019,title={Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale: A Validity and Reliability Study of Turkish Form for Teachers},abstractNode={In the study, the validity and reliability of the Warwick-Edinburgh Mental Well-Being Scale (WEMWBS) on a group of 348 Turkish teachers were examined. Because the purpose of the study is to adapt an existing factor structure to a different culture and language, the model fit of the scale was tested by confirmatory factor analysis and then structural validity the scale was assessed. X2/sd ratio in the study is 4.01; RMSEA= 0,09; GFI= 0,89; AGFI= 0,85; RMR= 0,045; SRMR= 0,063; CFI, NFI, NNFI, IFI and RFI values were found to be above 0,90. According to the confirmatory factor analysis results of the scale, the 14-item and one-dimensional structure of the scale was validated as a model to determine the mental well-being levels of teachers in Turkey. The results of the study show that the factorial structure of the Turkish form of WEMWBS applied on a group of Turkish teachers overlaps the factor structure of the original form of the WEMWBS. Internal consistency reliability coefficient (Cronbach's Alpha) of the WEMWBS was found to be 0,87. The test-retest reliability coefficient is 0,79. These results show that the measuring tool is reliable. As a result, the 14-item and one-dimensional structure of the WEMWBS is a valid and reliable scale that can be used to measure the mental well-being levels of teachers in validated as a model to determine the mental well-being levels of teachers in Turkey.},author={Ahmet ŞAHİN-Ramazan GÖK - Ali SABANCI},year={2019},journal={Journal of Turkish Studies}}
