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.
