Psychometric Evaluation of the T-CSUQ: The Turkish Version of the Computer System Usability Questionnaire

Abstract

This article describes the development of a standardized computer system usability questionnaire for use with speakers of the Turkish language, the Turkish Computer System Usability Questionnaire, Short Version (T-CSUQ-SV). This new questionnaire, based on the English-language CSUQ, underwent careful translation and transformation through comprehensive psychometric evaluation. The results of the psychometric evaluation revealed an acceptable level of reliability, appropriate construct validity, and sensitivity to manipulation, indicating that Turkish usability practitioners should be able to use the T-CSUQ-SV with confidence when conducting user research.
