Özet
Choice Theory, which is a well-established psychological framework that emphasizes the importance of meeting basic psychological needs for human well-being and optimal functioning. The use of a reliable and valid measure like the BNSBCT can lead to more accurate and meaningful research findings, which can inform the development of interventions or policies aimed at improving individuals' basic psychological needs fulfillment in various contexts especially in education. The aim of this study was to develop a measurement instrument to find out the satisfaction levels of basic needs in adult population and to test the psychometric properties of the scale. Individuals aged 18 and older, who were reached with convenience sampling method, participated in the study. Exploratory Factor Analysis was conducted with the data obtained from 381 participants, while Confirmatory Factor Analysis was conducted with the data obtained from 194 participants and goodness of fit indices were found to be ?²/df= 1.64; GFI=.85; IFI=.91; TLI=.90; CFI=.91; PNFI=.71; PGFI=.69; SRMR=.64 and RMSEA=.06. The 25-item scale includes five factors. Face validity of the scale is .91, while convergent validity value is .70. In terms of reliability, McDonald's Omega coefficient was found to be .92, while test-retest correlation coefficient was found to be .83. The results show that Basic Needs Scale based on Choice Theory is a valid and reliable measurement instrument. As a result, it can be stated that the scale can be used to determine the level of meeting the basic needs of adults.
