Psychometric Properties of the Turkish Version of the AI Mindset Scale

Abstract

One of the fields where Artificial Intelligence (AI) is most widely used is higher education. Among the factors that determine university students' acceptance and effective use of AI tools is the AI mindset. This study aimed to adapt the AI Mindset Scale to Turkish culture. The study sample consisted of 285 university students. The study's data collection tools included the AI Mindset Scale, the AI Acceptance Scale, and the AI Attitude Scale. The results of the reliability analysis conducted on the AI Mindset Scale showed that Cronbach's alpha and omega values were at good levels. According to the findings of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) conducted within the scope of validity, the fit indices of the AI Mindset Scale were found to be at acceptable levels. Furthermore, the scale's high values in item factor loadings and its provided item discriminant and convergent validity strengthened its construct validity. Criterion validity findings revealed significant positive correlations between AI acceptance and AI attitudes, and AI mindsets. In conclusion, all analyses conducted in the study show that the AI Mindset Scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used in Turkey. Therefore, it is expected that these research findings will lead to studies on the AI mindset both in Turkish culture and across cultures.
