Aim: The aim is the adaptation of the Attitudes Towards Women Scale - Short Version to Turkish developed by Spence, Helmrich and Stapp (1978) for the professional staff (social workers, psychologists, psychological counsellors, etc.) who work with women. Method: The reliability and validity of the Attitude Scale Towards Women, Turkish form version has been tested on 119 women and 24 men to 143 health personnel, social workers, midwives and nurses who work at primary and secondary health institutions, whose ages range from 18 to 53 years (avg = 33.76; sd = 8.43). Results: For the reliability of the scale, the test-retest method was used and the Cronbach's alpha coefficient was calculated. The internal consistency coefficient of the items was determined as 0.887 with SPSS 11.5. Both the test-retest method and the internal consistency coefficient were found to be high, and therefore, the Attitude Scale Towards Women is considered to be reliable. For validity, the factor validity and construct validity were analysed and an eigenvalue of more than 1.00 was observed. This finding shows that the scale is compatible with the one-dimensional original form. Conclusion: The fact that the items that constitute the Attitude Scale Towards Women have the desired characteristics and that it has high validity and reliability shows that this scale can be used to determine attitudes towards women on individuals living in Turkey. These features resemble the original form of the scale and shows that the Turkish form can be used in Turkey.
