  • Title: Psychometric properties of Frustration Discomfort Scale in a Turkish sample.
    Author: Ozer BU, Demir A, Harrington N.
    Journal: Psychol Rep; 2012 Aug; 111(1):117-28. PubMed ID: 23045854.
    Abstract:
    The present study assessed the psychometric properties of the Frustration Discomfort Scale for Turkish college students. The Frustration Discomfort Scale (FDS), Procrastination Assessment Scale-Student, and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale were administered to a sample of 171 (98 women, 73 men) Turkish college students. The results of the confirmatory factor analysis yielded fit index values demonstrating viability of the four-dimensional solution as in the original. Findings also revealed that, as predicted, the Discomfort Intolerance subscale of Turkish FDS was most strongly correlated with procrastination. Overall results provided evidence for the factor validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the scale for use in a Turkish population.
