Taskesen, Orhan
Educational Research and Reviews, v9 n8 p216-226 Apr 2014
The goal of this study is to develop a scale that measures individuals' interest in art and to test if there is a relation between this scale and personality types. For this aim, in the first stage of the study, a scale that can measure university students' interest in art is developed. Draft scale, which is made of 25 items, is conducted on 171 university students (98 female, 73 male) in 2013 to 2014 academic year. The scale is made of 2 sub-scales (Emotion-Perception and Behaviour) and there are 10 items in each sub-scale. At the end of the reliability analysis of the scale, Cronbach alpha coefficient is found to be 0.84. After the factor analysis of the interest in art scale which is made of 20 items, a structure made of 2 factors, whose eigenvalue is over 4.00 and explains 41% of the total variance, occurred. At the end of the confirmatory factor analysis, which is made for confirming this structure, fit index values are determined to be RMSEA = 0.052, GFI = 0.90, CFI = 0.90, AGFI = 0.89, NFI = 0.89, NNFI = 0.90 and SRMR = 0.048. In the second stage of the study, data obtained by the scale developed by Bacanli, Ilhan and Aslan is used. In order to determine the relation between university students' personality types and their interest in art, the prediction levels of responsibility, amiableness, being open to experience, extroversion, emotional instability and neuroticism are researched. It is found that, the variables of extroversion and being open to experience are significant predictors of interest in art.
