The aim of this study is to adapt to the Moral Disengagement in Doping (MDDS) scale developed by Kavussanu, Hatzigeorgiadis, Elbe and Ring (2016) to measure the mechanisms of ethical deviation in doping use and to evaluate their psychometric characteristics. The research group consisted of 264 athletes from 32 different sports branches between the ages of 17-31 years. The average age of athletes is 19.25±1.96 and the average sports age is 4.85±3.15 years. 41.7 percent of the athletes (n=110) are women and 58.3 percent (n=154) are men. The validity of MDDS has been tested with DFA. The conformity indicators have been perfectly aligned in all parameters (Ki-quar/sd=1.44; RMSEA=0.041; GFI=0.99; AGFI=0.96; CFI=1.00; NNFI=0.99; SRMR=0.027). As a result, it is believed that the scale’s reliability is quite high, the parameters of close and simultaneous validity are at acceptable levels and the scale can be used in research in Turkey, which wants to determine the mechanisms of departure from the morality of doping use.

The study group consisted of 264 athletes from 32 different sports branches and aged between 17-31. The average age of the athletes is 19.25 ± 1.96 and the average sport experience is 4.85 ± 3.15 years. 41.7% (n = 110) of the athletes are female and 58.3% (n = 154) are male.The MDDS validated with CFA. Fit indices values for all parameters were found to be excellent (Chi-square/df=1,44; RMSEA=0,041; GFI=0,99; AGFI=0,96; CFI=1,00; NNFI=0,99; SRMR=0,027). As a result, the reliability of the Turkish version of the MDDS is high enough, convergent and concurrent validity parameters are at acceptable levels. It can be said that researchers in Turkey who want to determine the moral disengagement mechanism in doping could be utilized this scale.
