Journal Title: JOURNAL OF ADVANCES IN HUMANITIES - Year 2014, Vol 2, Issue 2
Abstract
The purpose of this study is to develop and validate a new scale which measures relative deprivation level of university students toward financial possibilities. According to egoistical relative deprivation model (Crosby, 1976), five preconditions must be met to feel deprived. Depending on these preconditions, 71 items were written. Item pool was conducted 310 (Nfemale = 208; Nmale = 102) university students who study in different universities of Turkey (Mage = 22.84; SD = 2.44). Participants rated items on a 6 point Likert-type response set. Findings indicated a five-dimensional, 22-item scale which is called Relative Deprivation Scale for Financial Possibilities (?=.77); factors were (1) adverse effects of relative deprivation (?=.88), (2) feasibility of obtaining better financial possibilities (?=.78), (3) responsibility for failure to possess better financial possibilities (?=.84), (4) feeling to deserve better financial possibilities (?=.71) and (5) wanting toward better financial possibilities (?=.75). Also, these dimensions were tested with demographic information of participants.
