Aims:
To evaluate the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Compassion Motivation and Action Scales (CMAS).
Method:
The study had a methodological design and involved 433 participants aged 18 to 64. The translation validity of the CMAS was evaluated by 10 experts, and content validity indices were computed. The factor structure of the CMAS was assessed using confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Pearson product-moment correlation was used to test convergent validity, and Cronbach's alpha and McDonald's ω coefficients were used to test internal consistency and reliability.
Results:
Both the compassion and self-compassion scales of the CMAS showed excellent translational validity. CFA confirmed the three-factor structure of the compassion and self-compassion scales of the CMAS.
Conclusions:
The CMAS has demonstrated good validity and reliability in adult individuals in Turkish society. The CMAS can be used to assess and follow up on compassionate action and motivation in adult individuals.
