Özet
The aim of this study was to investigate the adaptation, reliability and validity of the Vineland Adaptive Behavior Scales - Survey Form - (Vineland) for Turkish babies, whose original was developed by Sparrow et all in 1984. The Vineland was administered on total 561 (283 girls, 278 boys) normal children and total 23 (5 girls, 18 boys) autistic children. This children between four different age ranges (0 - 11 months, 12 - 23 months, 24 - 35 months and 36 - 47 months) from three different SES group (low, middle and high) were selected for this study. Results indicated that as children grew older, their total scores on the scale also increased. There were no significant differences in sex. In the 24 - 35 and 36 - 47 months age ranges, high SES children's scores were higher than the others (low and middle SES). When the age was divorced in the month ranges, there were no significant differences from birth to 24 months age ranges. Reliability studies of scale included Interrater Reliability (97 - .99), Test Retest (91 and .98) and Internal Consistency Analysis (95 - .97). Validity studies assessed with three different methods: Construct Validity (factor analysis), and two different Criterion Validity studies. This results revealed that the Vineland could be used as a qualitative and a quantitative assessment instrument in infancy and early childhood stages of Turkish children.
