Abstract

The present study aimed to adapt the Adolescent/Adult Form of the MNBS-A into Turkish and evaluate its psychometric features. The study group consisted of 385 students aged between 15 and 23 who were recruited from a high school and university in Antalya, Turkey. In the analysis of the collected data, validity analysis was initially conducted, which included the separate assessment of the construct and criterion-related validity of the Mother and Father Forms of the MNBS-A. For both of the forms, the results of the confirmatory factor analysis revealed a 4-factor structure consisting of 20 items. The findings of the criterion-related validity analysis showed that all sub-dimension scores of both forms were significantly and negatively associated (p < 0.01) with the scores of the criteria measures. In terms of the reliability analysis, the Cronbach’s alpha coefficients for each sub-dimension and the overall measure were examined for the Mother and Father Forms separately. It was found that the Cronbach’s alpha values ranged from 0.80 to 0.95. Finally, a regression analysis was conducted, as a result of which age was found to be a predictor of parental neglect in the 15–18 age group (p < 0.05). In conclusion, it is suggested that the 20-item forms of the Turkish version of the MNBS-A are valid and reliable and can be administered to assess child neglect in a Turkish sample.
