    (2015) Sahin, Nesrin Hisli; Yeniceri, Zuhal; 0000-0001-9228-9961; F-8366-2010
    Awareness is a phenomenon which is increasingly attracting attention. However as a complex concept, it incorporates different dimensions. In spite of this increasing attention, there are very few instruments in the Turkish Language to be used in research aiming to conceptualize the construct. The purpose of the current study is to adapt three scales used in the related literature into Turkish, in order to study awareness with its several conceptual dimensions (psychological awareness, self awareness, and mindfulness). With this purpose in mind, the Psychological Mindedness Scale, the Integrative Self Awareness Scale, and Toronto Mindfulness Scale were translated into Turkish; and their psychometric properties, reliabilities and validities (construct validity and concurrent validity) were investigated. The results are interpreted in light of the related literature. The study revealed that these three scales can reliably and validly be used in studies on awareness.
