Özet

The present study aimed to adapt the Stress-Related Growth Scale Short Form into

Turkish and to examine the psychometric properties of the Turkish form. The research

was performed with three separate study groups consisting of a total of 631 university

students. Linguistic equivalence studies of the scale have shown that the original and

Turkish forms are equivalent. Item analyzes and confirmatory factor analysis findings

showed that the original factor structure of the scale with 15 items and one dimension

was confirmed in Turkish university students, and the fit values of the model were

within acceptable limits. In criterion validity, significant correlations were found

between the Stress-Related Growth Scale Short Form and other variables. Research

findings have shown that the Stress-Related Growth Scale Short Form was a valid and

reliable measurement instrument.
