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.
