AB  - This study aims to adapt the Appearance-Related Social Media Consciousness Scale (ASMC), developed by Choukas-Bradley et al. (2020), into Turkish and carry out validity, reliability, and standard-setting studies on adolescents. The study was conducted on 444 adolescents, 296 of whom were girls. Confirmatory factor analysis was used to determine the scale's construct validity. Correlation analysis was performed for criterion validity, and Cronbach alpha and composite reliability coefficients were calculated for reliability. Confirmatory factor analysis results showed that the scale fits perfectly. The scale showed a moderate positive correlation with social appearance anxiety, depression, anxiety, and stress. In addition, the reliability coefficients were over .90. The results indicated that ASMC has good psychometric properties.
