Narsisistik Kişilik Envanteri-13 (NKE-13)’nin Türkçe Geçerlik ve Güvenirlik Çalışması

Abstract

The aim of this study was to examine the reliability and validity of the Turkish translation of the Narcissistic Personality Inventory-13 (NPI-13). This scale was developed by Gentile et al. (2013)/ NPI-13 Scale for college students was first translated into Turkish and then back-translated. Subsequently, the questionnaire was administered to 308 college students. The internal consistency of the scale was examined for reliability, and second-order confirmative factor analysis (CFA) was conducted using Jamovi program for the validity of the scale. CFA, similar to the original scale, confirmed the fit of the 3-factor model (Leadership/ Authority; Grandiose/ Exhibitionism; Entitlement/ Exploitativeness). (χ2=130, df=60, χ2/df=2.17; RMSEA=0,0614, CFI=0,938; TLI=0.919). The internal consistency reliability coefficient of the whole scale is .84, Leadership/ Authority is .78, Grandiose/ Exhibitionism is .72, Entitlement/ Exploitativeness is .61. Our findings show that the Turkish version of the NPI-13 Scale has acceptable levels of reliability and validity for the selected samples.
