Abstract:
This study aimed to adapt the Victim Gaslighting Questionnaire (VGQ) into Turkish and evaluate its validity and reliability among women in Türkiye. This methodological epidemiological study collected data between February 1 and May 1, 2024, from 568 women aged 18 years and older. Data were analyzed using SPSS and LISREL. The findings, supported by exploratory factor analysis (EFA), revealed a two-factor structure consisting of Peer Disagreement and Loss of Self-Trust, which was further confirmed through confirmatory factor analysis (CFA). Analyses indicated good model fit (χ²/df = 2.87, RMSEA = 0.058, CFI = 0.96). The scale demonstrated strong internal consistency (α = .91) and satisfactory subscale reliabilities. Findings suggest the Turkish VGQ is a psychometrically sound tool for assessing gaslighting.
