What is being measured
The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.
CROSS CULTURAL ADAPTABILITY INVENTORY (CCAI)
The Turkish adaptation of the inventory developed by Kelley and Meyers in 1992 was made in 2009 by Karaeminoğulları, Doğan and Bozkurt. The Intercultural Adaptation Inventory consists of 49 items and is 6-point Likert type. A high score from the inventory indicates cultural compatibility, and a low score indicates incompatibility with the culture. The inventory assesses individuals' levels of intercultural activity and their abilities regarding individual awareness against the characteristics of the culture they live in. These dimensions are emotional flexibility (18 items), flexibility/openness (15 items), perceptual sensitivity (10 items), and personal autonomy (7 items). The Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient of the Intercultural Adaptation Inventory is 0.84.
Measured: Change from before education up to after education (three weeks)
THE PSYCHOLOGICAL WELL-BEING SCALE (PWS)
The scale developed by Diener et al. (2010) was developed to measure socio-psychological well-being, complementing existing well-being measures. The Turkish adaptation of the scale was carried out by Telef in 2013. The Single Factor Psychological Well-Being Scale consists of 8 items and is in 7-point Likert type. All items are expressed positively. Scores from the scale range from 8 to 56. The higher the score obtained from the scale, the higher the level of psychological well-being is calculated. The Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient of the scale is 0.80.
Measured: Change from before education up to after education (three weeks)
