In the current study, it was aimed to adapt the Drive for Muscularity Scale (DMS), which has been commonly used to measure attitudes and behaviors related to muscularity, to Turkish. For this purpose, the data collected from 297 male participants were analyzed with exploratory factor analysis, and its results indicated that Turkish DMS has a three-factor structure for Turkish men, KMO = .87; Bartlett’s test of sphericity χ 2 (105) = 2512. 12, p < .001. This three-factor structure of DMS was also supported by the findings of confirmatory factor analysis, χ 2 (84) = 246.2, p < .001, χ 2 / sd = 2.93, CFI = .93, RMSEA = .08. Other psychometric properties of Turkish DMS were examined through the validity (i.e., convergent and divergent validity) and reliability analyses, and the findings showed that this adaptation was a valid and reliable measure of muscularity oriented attitudes and behaviors for Turkish men. With this adaptation, this study is expected to provide important scientific contributions to our in-depth understanding of the body image concerns of Turkish men.

Turkish Version of the Dyadic Almost Perfect Scale: Reliability and Validity Bugay, Asli; KALKAN, MELEK; Delevi, Rakel (2016-07-01) The present study examined the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Dyadic Almost Perfect Scale (DAPS). The Turkish version of DAPS and Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (MPS) was administered to 263 (157 female and 104 male) Turkish university students and 2 participants didn't specify their gender. Internal reliability was calculated and Cronbach's a coefficients ranged between .87 and .90. Criterion validity (Pearson correlation) between the DAPS and the MPS ranged from .27 to .50. A...

Turkish Version of the Junior Metacognitive Awareness Inventory: The Validation Study Aydin, Utkun; Ubuz, Behiye (2010-07-01) This article describes a study measuring metacognition by means of the Junior Metacognitive Awareness Inventory developed in the USA which was then adapted to be used in Turkey. The survey data from 314 middle school students and 589 tenth grade students were collected in two phases to facilitate both the exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Furthermore, the reliability analysis of the scores and convergent, discriminant, and subgroup validity coefficients were exami...
Turkish adaptation of the trait meta-mood scale Aksoz, Idil; Bugay, Asli; Erdur Baker, Özgür (2010-02-08) This study investigates the reliability and validity of the Turkish version of the Trait Meta-Mood Scale (Salovey, Mayer, Goldman, Turvey & Palfai, 1995). This scale was originally developed to measure the ability to understand one's mood, to find the degree to which individuals moderate their moods, and to find correspondences between feelings and thoughts. The Trait Meta-Mood Scale (TMMS) and Ruminative Response Scale (RRS) were applied to 319 university students. Confirmatory and exploratory factor analy...
