Özet
Objective: The present study aimed at examining the psychometric properties of the Brief Fear of Negative Evaluation Scale-II(BFNE-II) and the BFNE–Straightforward Items (BFNE-S) in a non-clinical Turkish sample.Method: The sample consisted of a total of 243 undergraduate students. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was done for theBFNE-II and the BFNE-S to confirm the proposed unitary model; internal consistency coefficient was calculated, and reliabilitycoefficients were determined by using the split-half method. For concurrent validity, the Fear of Positive Evaluation Scale, theLiebowitz Social Anxiety Scale, and the Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were used.Results: As a result of CFA, the BFNE-II and the BFNE-S showed a good fit to the unitary model as in the original form. TheCronbach’s Alpha reliability coefficient of the BFNE-II was found to be 0.92 and the reliability coefficient determined by thesplit-half method was 0.94; the reliability coefficients of the BFNE-S were 0.90 for the Cronbach’s Alpha and 0.91 for the splithalf method. The analysis also revealed that BFNE-II and BFNE-S have good concurrent validity with the measures of the fear ofpositive evaluation, self-esteem and social anxiety.Conclusion: These findings support the use of the brief fear of negative evaluation revisions (BFNE-II and BFNE-S) in Turkishculture as measures of fear of negative evaluation in research. The implications of the research were discussed in light of therelated literature.
