| Abstract: | The authors' purpose in this article is to report on developing an instrument to measure society's sensitivity to early and forced marriages. The theoretical structure of the scale was based on the Radical Feminist Theory, Broken Windows Theory, and Theory of Change. Data were obtained from 451 participants from Türkiye who were aged 18 and above. The criterion validity of the scale was tested using the Attitudes toward Girl Child Marriages Scale. The final version of the scale consisted of a total of 10 items under three sub-scales called "Social Sensitivity," "Health Sensitivity," and "Legal Sensitivity." Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient of the scale was found 0.85. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
