Özet:

In this study, it was aimed to make validity and reliability analyses by adapting the mindful coping scale into Turkish.  The scale was enhanced by Tharaldsena and Bruc (2011). The sample group consisted of 283 high school students in the adaptation study. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was implemented for construct validity of the scale. DFA results showed that chi-square value (x² = 639.87, N = 283, df = 221, p = 0.00) was significant. Fit index values were found to be RMSEA=.076, CFI=.88, IFI=.88, GFI=.85, SRMR=.074. The reliability of the scale was calculated by Cronbach’s Alpha Coefficient and Item Total Correlation Coefficient. The Cronbach’s Alpha Internal Consistency Reliability Coefficient of the mindful coping scale was found to be .71 for the awareness sub-dimension, .79 for the distraction sub-dimension, .72 for the negative emotion prevention sub-dimension, and .71 for the self-revealing sub-dimension. It was determined that the Mindful Coping Scale of Item-Total Correlations was .31-.57 for the awareness sub-dimension, .33-.69 for the distraction sub-dimension, .38-.53 for the sub-dimension of prevention of negative emotions, that it ranged from 38 to .59 for constructive self-assertion sub-dimension. According to the results of the study, it can be said that mindful coping scale is a valid and reliable.
