@article{2014,title={DEVELOPMENT RISK BEHAVIOURS SCALE: VADILITY AND RELIABILITY STUDIES},abstractNode={The studies which aim to obtain, determine the prevalence of risk behaviours and investigate factors associated with the risk behaviours of high school students have a great importance. Primarily, there is a need to determine these behaviours. For this need, it is aimed to develop a scale to measure risk behaviours of high school students in this study. Problem Behaviour Theory is based on to develop the scale. Under the study, risk behvaiours of high school students have been discussed in six dimensions: Antisocial behaviours, alcohol use, tobacco use, suicide tendency, nutrition habits and school dropout. This study has been conducted on three different groups of students who attend high school at 2009-2010 Fall semester in Ankara and Istanbul. The construct validity, covergent validity, internal consistency and test-retest reliability of the scale was investigated. As a result of validity studies, a likert tipe scale which consist of 36 items has been obtained. For the convergent validity of RBS, Percevied Social Support Scale (PSSS) was used. Negative correlations have been found between the total score of RDO and the scores of PSSS’s subscales. Internal consistency was found between .70 and .91 and test-retest was found between .56 and .90 for total and subdimension scores of RBS.},author={Dilek GENÇTANIRIM-- Tuncay ERGENE},year={2014},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science Studies}}
