dc.description.abstractBackground: Dissociation refers to detachment, absorption, amnesia, and compartmentalization. It may work as a defense mechanism against stress and traumatic experiences. It can even take the form of forgetting or daydreaming to shift the focus away from daily experiences. A metric to quantify dissociative behaviors greatly aids in determining when these transition into pathological. Aims: Therefore, this study aims to translate and adapt a scale of dissociative activities (Mayer & Farmer, 2003) into Turkish. Method: Toward this end, a sample of university students and exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were used. Results: According to EFA, subcategories of dissociation loaded to both factors, so one dimensional structure of the scale was deemed to solve cross-loading of subcategories. CFA provided valid evidence to one dimensional structure of the scale, Chi(2) (527) = 1398.39, p < 0.05, comparative fit index (CFI) = 0.96, standardized root mean square residual (SRMR) = 0.067, the root mean square error of approximation (RMSEA) = 0.10, 90% CI for RMSEA [0.097, 0.11]). The Cronbach alpha for the scale was 0.96 for the first (N = 178) and second (N = 216) data sets. Convergent validity was also determined for the translated version of this scale. Conclusion: The findings from these analyses indicated that the Turkish version of the scale of dissociative activities had a one-factor structure and seemed to be reliable and valid among Turkish university students. This newly adapted scale should facilitate the diagnosis and comparative studies concerning the tendency or symptoms of dissociation. (C) 2022 Elsevier Masson SAS. All rights reserved.
