THE STUDY OF RELIABILITY AND VALIDITY OF SOCIAL CAPITAL SCALE
Abstract
Social capital is a result of human relations that
depend on trust and is a non-material capital. Three important product of
social capital are trust, common values and the emotion of belongness created
by social networks. ---To know people and to be in touch with them is not
enough for the emergence of a social capital.--- To feel belonged to the people
that you know, to trust these people, and to believe that you are sharing
common values with these people are necessary for the social capital. The aim
of this research is to develop 5 distinct measurement tools for social capital
that measures each dimension separately. For this, three types of trust;
strategic trust, generalized trust, institutional trust; common values and
belongness were taken into consideration. Five separate measurement tools were
developed and were tested for their validity, and reliability. Tools used 590
subject that are university stundents and graduated.Due to the fact that the
validity and reliability tests have proved high, shows that these measurement
tools could be used in measuring whether the people of Turkey have social
capital and in measuring the details of their social capitals.
