Turkish adaptation and psychometric validation of a short version of the pragmatic and hedonic quality scale

The purpose of this study was to confirm the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Pragmatic and Hedonic Quality Scale and to examine its psychometric properties. To achieve this, linguistic equivalence, confirmatory factor analysis, and validity and reliability analyses were conducted on two independent samples (N₁= 264, N₂ = 469). The results confirmed that the adapted scale retained its three-factor structure, consistent with the original version, with corresponding items forming the same sub-dimensions. The model demonstrated an acceptable fit to the data. The CFA results indicated that the model fit was within the recommended thresholds in both samples. Reliability analyses indicated that the internal consistency coefficients for the three factors and the whole scale ranged from .71 to .93, and the overall scale showed high reliability. The findings of this study confirm that the Turkish version of the scale preserves the original three-factor structure and demonstrates strong construct validity and reliability.
