Combating Violence Against Women

The scale developed by Özyürek and Kurnaz (2019) consists of 20 items measuring awareness of domestic violence on a three-point Likert scale. The highest score that can be obtained from each item is three, and the lowest score is one. Items 1-5 in the scale constitute the sub-dimensions of "Definition of Domestic Violence", items 6-10 constitute the sub-dimensions of "Consequences of Domestic Violence", items 11-15 constitute the sub-dimensions of "Acceptance of Domestic Violence", and items 16-20 constitute the sub-dimensions of "Normalization of Domestic Violence". High total scores obtained from the entire scale can be interpreted as the individual having views compatible with the expected behaviors and attitudes in scientific and legal fields in interpreting domestic violence and having a high level of awareness of domestic violence. The Cronbach alpha coefficient of the scale was reported to be 0.92 and ranged between 0.71 and 0.92 for its sub-dimensions. In this study, Cronbach

Gender Roles Scale was originally developed by García-Cueto and colleagues (2015). Adaptation of the scale to Turkish and reliability validity study were conducted by Bakioğlu and Türküm (2019). In the original study, Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated as 0.99 within the scope of reliability of the scale, in the adaptation study, Cronbach alpha internal consistency coefficient was calculated as 0.88 and test-retest reliability was calculated as 0.77. The scale consists of 15 questions and a single dimension. The items are answered in Likert type as 1= I completely disagree, 2= I disagree, 3= I am undecided, 4= I agree, 5= I completely agree and so on. The 13 items of the scale, except for items 1 and 2, are reverse coded. A total score is obtained from the scale, and a higher score indicates a higher negative attitude towards gender roles. In other words, a person who scores high on the scale adopts gender roles less and shows less commitment than a person
