dc.description.abstractEarly marriage or child marriage generally refers to the case of being married before the age of 18.Early marriages are described as a woman or man being forced to marry before the age of 18 when they do notfeel physiologically or psychologically ready to take on marital or parental responsibilities. The aim of thestudy is to develop a reliable and valid instrument assessing university students’ attitudes towards earlymarriage and investigate the instrument’s validity and reliability. The study was conducted with the datacollected from 883 students studying at the Faculty of Healthy Sciences, Kırıkkale University. KMO andBartlett’s Test, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were conducted to examine the scale’s validityand the results of the exploratory factor analysis used for construct validity indicated a construct that explained55.599% of the total variance with factor load values ranging between .356 and .633. The fit indices from theresults of the confirmatory factor analysis were calculated as; RMSEA= 0,069; GFI= 0.889; AGFI= 0.869.The scale consists of 23 items collected under 4 factors. These factors are Social Structure, SubjectiveJudgement, General Judgements and Effects on the Person. Cronbach coefficient for the total of the 23-itemscale under four factors was calculated as Cronbach ? = 0.871. In light of the findings, it can be said that theAttitude towards Early Marriage Scale (ATEMS) has high validity and reliability, adequately strong in termsof measuring the items and is a sufficient scale to determine the level of the construct it is expected to measure.
