This study examined the psychometric properties of the White Bear Suppression Inventory (WBSI) in a sample of 273 Turkish undergraduate students. The WBSI assesses people's tendency toward thought suppression. The reliability and validity analyses of the Turkish version of the scale indicated that the WBSI had adequate psychometric properties in a Turkish sample. Internal consistency, and split-half and test-retest reliability coefficients were satisfactory. Consistent with the original WBSI, factor analysis of the scale identified a single component that accounted for 43.3% of the total variance. Concurrent validity of the Turkish version indicated that the scale exhibited significantly positive correlations with obsessive-compulsive, depression, and trait anxiety symptoms, as well as with responsibility attitudes, and thought-action fusion biases. All these findings supported the cross-cultural validity of WBSI.

Psychometric Evaluation of the College Adjustment Self-Efficacy Scale for Turkish University Students
Orucu, Muge Celik; Demir, Ayhan Gürbüz (Hogrefe Publishing Group, 2011-01-01)
The purpose of the study was to investigate the applicability of the College Adjustment Self-efficacy Scale (CASES) to a Turkish sample. The CASES (Hirose, Wada, & Watanabe, 1999) measures the degree of confidence in the basic skills necessary to complete one's college career. A total of 492 freshman students at Middle East Technical University aged 16-29 years filled in the Turkish translation of the CASES, which included 21 items. The alpha coefficient for the Turkish version of CASES was .82 and CASES co...
PSYCHOMETRIC PROPERTIES OF FRUSTRATION DISCOMFORT SCALE IN A TURKISH SAMPLE
Ozer, Bilge Uzun; Demir, Ayhan Gürbüz; Harrington, Neil (SAGE Publications, 2012-08-01)
The present study assessed the psychometric properties of the Frustration Discomfort Scale for Turkish college students. The Frustration Discomfort Scale (FDS), Procrastination Assessment Scale-Student, and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were administered to a sample of 171 (98 women, 73 men) Turkish college students. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis yielded fit index values demonstrating viability of the four-dimensional solution as in the original. Findings also revealed that, as predicted, th...
Psychometric properties of the reassurance-seeking scale in a Turkish sample
Gençöz, Tülin; Gençöz, Faruk (2005-02-01)
This study examined the psychometric properties of the Reassurance-Seeking Scale in a sample of 102 Turkish undergraduate students. High internal consistency reliability was found for the Reassurance-Seeking Scale (alpha=.86). Factor analysis of the scale identified a single component that accounted for 71% of the total variance. The scale was significantly positively correlated with the Beck Depression Inventory and Beck Anxiety Inventory and had a significantly negative correlation with the Rosenberg Self...
Confirmatory Factor Analyses of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) in a Turkish Adolescent Sample
ATALAR, DİLEK SARITAŞ; Gençöz, Tülin; Ozen, Ayca (Hogrefe Publishing Group, 2015-01-01)
The aim of the present study was to explore the psychometric properties of the Difficulties in Emotion Regulation Scale (DERS) among Turkish adolescents. A total of 595 high school students (300 females and 295 males) whose ages ranged between 14 and 17 years participated in the study, and were administered the DERS, the Positive and Negative Affect Schedule (PANAS), and the Childhood Depression Inventory (CDI). Confirmatory factor analyses supported the six-factor structure of the DERS among adolescents. I...
Psychometric evaluation of perceived stress scale for Turkish university students
Orucu, Muge Celik; Demir, Ayhan Gürbüz (Wiley, 2009-02-01)
The purpose of the study was to investigate the applicability of the Perceived Stress Scale (PSS) to a Turkish sample. PSS (Cohen, Kamarck, & Mermelstein, 1983) is a general appraisal instrument that measures the degree to which situations in one's life are appraised as stressful. Five hundred and eight freshman students at the Middle East Technical University at the age of 16-29 filled in the Turkish translation of the PSS. The alpha coefficient for the Turkish version of PSS was found as 0.84, and PSS cor...
