Abstract

Objective: The aim of this study was to adapt the short version of the Future Anxiety (FA) Scale (FAS) into Turkish and to assess its validity and reliability.

Methods: This study comprised 3 stages. The first stage of the study assessed the scale's linguistic validity. The second stage assessed the scale's factor structure, criterion validity, and reliability. The third stage assessed the scale's structural validity, and cross-checked its validity and reliability. In addition, a test-retest was conducted with a 2-week interval to assess the reliability of the scale.

Results: The FAS adapted into Turkish has a 5-item and 1-factor structure, consistent with the short version of the FAS. The Turkish version of the FAS was found to be a valid and reliable measurement tool.

Conclusion: The 5-item version of the FAS was translated and adapted into Turkish. The Turkish version of the FAS will be useful for Turkish researchers who want to conduct quantitative research on FA.

土耳其版 5 项未来焦虑量表的可靠性和有效性。

研究目的本研究旨在将简短版未来焦虑量表（FAS）改编成土耳其语，并评估其有效性和可靠性：本研究分为三个阶段。研究的第一阶段评估了量表的语言有效性。第二阶段评估量表的因子结构、标准效度和信度。第三阶段评估量表的结构效度，并交叉检查其效度和信度。此外，还进行了间隔两周的重测，以评估量表的可靠性：改编成土耳其语的 FAS 具有 5 个项目和 1 个因素的结构，与 FAS 的简短版本一致。结论：土耳其语版的 FAS 是一种有效、可靠的测量工具：结论：5 个项目的 FAS 已被翻译并改编成土耳其语。土耳其语版的 FAS 将有助于土耳其研究人员对 FA 进行定量研究。
