Export Incentives in Turkish Textile Industry: A Research in Bursa Province

Abstract

This study gives information about the scale development process for solving belief problems experienced in the context of God perception. We planned to develop a scale with our belief in the necessity of including all segments of the society, especially the young people who experience intense questioning about belief issues, in the search for solutions. Because there is no scale that measures how individuals' belief problems can be solved by themselves in any period, it has been viewed as a significant gap in the literature. The item pool of 62 items in the first draft was reduced to 36 items as a result of the preliminary evaluation. As a result of the evaluation of the items by 33 experts, a total of four items below the critical value were removed from the pool. In the 32-item scale, Exploratory Factor Analysis (EFA) and Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) were both consecutively carried out. The analyses revealed that the scale was appropriate for a four-factor structure, and accordingly, four items with an item load value below 0.30 were removed from the scale. The results of the study at the end found out that the 28-item scale which aims to measure Solving Belief Problems Related to the Perception of God Scale (SBPPGS) is a both valid and reliable measurement tool.
