The aim of this study is to evaluate the Turkish validity and reliability study of the Multidimensional Assessment of Interoceptive Awareness) Scale (MAIA 2  developed by William Mehling et al. (2018). Material and Method: The research is methodological. Research data was collected between April 2020 and May 2020 (N= 400). Forward and backward translation were used to translate the MAIA-2 into Turkish. We conducted exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) to analyze the psychometrics of the MAIA-2 in a 70:30 split sample.  Statistical analysis were done with R Project. Results: The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value (KMO=0.910) was acceptable, and there exists a significant correlation structure with Bartlett’s test of sphericity (χ2=5134.120, p 0.60). Standardized loadings were positive and &amp;gt;0.40 with significant results (p</p></abstract>
