Abstract:
This study investigated the reliability of the Turkish version of the Perceived Social Support (PSS) from Friends (PSS-Fr) and Family (PSS-Fa) scales, the Scale for Interpersonal Behavior (SIB), and the Suicide Probability Scale (SPS). Both test-retest and internal consistency reliability estimates were computed. Highly adequate reliability coefficients are recorded for the subscales and the total scales of the PSS, SIB, and SPS. The results of the present study clearly support the use of Turkish versions of the PSS-Fr, PSS-Fa, SIB, and SPS as reliable methods for assessing perceived social support from friends and family, assertiveness, and suicide risk.
