While latest research has accepted the importance of mindfulness in mental health, its role in interpersonal well-being receives less attention, including the necessary measurement tools. This study aimed to translate the Relationship Mindfulness Measure (RMM) into Turkish and explore its psychometric properties with unmarried Turkish emerging adults. A total of 191 university students (age range 18–29,M= 22.90,SD= 2.78) in committed romantic relationships participated in this study. The convergent validity analysis revealed a positive relation of RMM with trait mindfulness (r= .47,p< .001) and a negative relation with negative affect (r= −.21,p= .05). Internal and test-retest reliability of RMM was acceptable (α= .78,r= .67). The unidimensional factor structure of 5-item RMM was supported, and no common method variance was observed. Overall, findings indicated that Turkish RMM is a valid and reliable measure to assess emerging adults’ relationship mindfulness.Keywordspsychometric properties,relationship mindfulness,relationship mindfulness measure,romantic relationship,Turkish adaptation
