The Adaptation of Romantic Relationship Perfectionism Scale into Turkish Culture

In current study, the researchers aimed to adapt Romantic Relationship Perfectionism Scale (RRPS) into Turkish. For reliability and validity of scale, four studies were conducted. Turkish and English forms of the Romantic Relationship Perfectionism Scale (RRPS) are administered over a two-week period and the translated version was accepted as equivalent to the original. Sample of the study consisted of university students in a romantic relationship more than 12 months. In analyzing data, confirmatory factor analysis was used and the model revealed acceptable fit indices. Item-total analyses and Cronbach alpha of scale revealed that the scale can be used in a Turkish sample. In criterion-related validity study, RRPS has significant correlations with Frost Multidimensional Perfectionism Scale (FMPS), Dysfunctional Attitude Scale (DAS) and Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale. Lastly, reliability coefficient scores revealed acceptable results. As a result, validity and reliability studies show that the RRPS scale is acceptable for Turkish sample.
