Abstract

<p style="text-align:justify">This study aims to examine reliability and validity analysis of the Balanced Differentiation and Integration Scale (?mamo?lu, 1998) on an adolescence sample and test the psychometric properties of the scale. The data was obtained from 1658 high school students from 16 high schools in four provinces in Istanbul that have the highest rates of immigration (Zeytinburnu, Gaziosmanpa?a, B?y?k?ekmece and senyurt Regions). The data was divided into two sets. In the first set, xplanatory actor Analysis was conducted, and 6 factors were found, which is similar to Imamo?lu?s study. In the second data set, Confirmatory actor Analysis was conducted, and it was found that the model is acceptable. This study is based on the data collected as a part of T?B?TAK 1010 Project.</p>
