Relational ethics scale : psychometric evaluation of the Slovene-language version

Cvetek, Mateja (author), Pučnik, Peter (author), Cvetek, Robert (author), Globokar, Roman (author)

This study aimed to translate, adapt, and psychometrically evaluate the Relational Ethics Scale in the Slovene language. This inventory was developed to measure people’s perception of relational ethics in their families of origin and in current significant adult relationships. Relational ethics is understood in terms of contextual family therapy and is composed of perceptions of trust and justice, loyalty and entitlement. The Slovene version of the Relational Ethics Scale was administered to a sample of 271 Slovene-speaking adults. Exploratory factor (principal component), combined with parallel analysis, found a two-factor structure. This two-factor solution supports theoretically meaningful horizontal and vertical relationships dimensions or subscales. Reliability analysis shows excellent inter-item consistency (Cronbach alpha) coefficients for both subscales, as well as for the total scale. Confirmatory factor analysis supports a two-factor solution. The results support the further use of the scale as a valid and reliable instrument for measuring relational ethics in a Slovene language environment.

• Title: Lestvica relacijske etike : psihometrično ovrednotenje slovenske različice

Abstract

Cilj te raziskave je bil prevesti, prirediti in psihometrično ovrednotiti Lestvico odnosne etike (Si-RES) v slovenščini. Ta lestvica je bila razvita z namenom meriti posameznikovo zaznavanje odnosne etike v njegovi izvorni družini in v trenutnih prominin odraslih odnosih. Odnosno etiko se razume v terminih kontekstualne družinske terapije in jo sestavlja zaznavanje zaupanja in pravičnosti, lojalnosti in upravičenosti. Slovenska verzija Lestvice relacijske etike je bila preverjana na vzorcu 271 slovensko govorečih odraslih. Eksploratorna faktorska analiza (analiza glavnih komponent), kombinirana s paralelno analizo, je odkrila dvo-faktorsko strukturo. Ta dvofaktorska struktura podpira teoretično smiselni horizontalno in vertikalno dimenzijo oz. podlestvico, podobno kot tudi španska verzija Lestvice relacijske etike. Analiza zanesljivosti je pokazala, da ima vprašalnik odlično notranjo skladnost, kar smo preverili s pomočjo Cronbach alfa koeficienta zanesljivosti tako za obe podlestvici, kot tudi za celotno lestvico. Konfirmatorna faktorska analiza podpira dvo-faktorsko rešitev. Rezultati podpirajo nadaljnjo uporabo lestvice kot veljavnega in zanesljivega instrumenta za merjenje relacijske etike v slovenskem jezikovnem okolju.
