Abstract :
This study investigates the reliability and validity of the Turkish adaptation of “Self Concealment Scale” (SCS). The sample consisted of 248 undergraduates from the Faculty of Education, Gazi University. There were 10 five-point Likert type items. The construct validity of SCS was examined by factor analysis. There was a significant relationship between scores on SCS and Self Disclosure Scale (r = -.25) to test criteria validity. Cronbach alpha coefficient was .82; test-retest correlation coefficient was r = .72. Item-total correlations coefficiencies were .25-.66. Considering reliability and validity study results, it can be concluded that SCS was a valid and reliable instrument.
