Turkish Version of the Mindfulness in Couple Relationships Scale: Validity, Reliability and Psychometric Properties

ABSTRACT Research on mindfulness within couple relationships is rapidly increasing; however, many studies tend to overlook its multi‐dimensional nature. Assessing relational mindfulness through various components may offer valuable insights for both researchers and couples. This study aimed to adapt the multi‐dimensional and context‐specific Mindfulness in Couple Relationships Scale (MCRS) for a Turkish sample and to examine its psychometric properties. The sample comprised 355 Turkish participants aged between 18 and 63 years. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the original eight‐factor structure, which is consistent with the original scale. The MCRS demonstrated strong internal consistency ( α = 0.90; ω = 0.91). Correlation analyses revealed positive associations between the MCRS, trait mindfulness, and relationship quality. These findings suggest that the Turkish version of the MCRS is a valid and reliable assessment tool for measuring multiple facets of mindfulness in romantic relationships.

Abstract

ABSTRACT Research on mindfulness within couple relationships is rapidly increasing; however, many studies tend to overlook its multi‐dimensional nature. Assessing relational mindfulness through various components may offer valuable insights for both researchers and couples. This study aimed to adapt the multi‐dimensional and context‐specific Mindfulness in Couple Relationships Scale (MCRS) for a Turkish sample and to examine its psychometric properties. The sample comprised 355 Turkish participants aged between 18 and 63 years. Confirmatory factor analysis confirmed the original eight‐factor structure, which is consistent with the original scale. The MCRS demonstrated strong internal consistency ( α = 0.90; ω = 0.91). Correlation analyses revealed positive associations between the MCRS, trait mindfulness, and relationship quality. These findings suggest that the Turkish version of the MCRS is a valid and reliable assessment tool for measuring multiple facets of mindfulness in romantic relationships.
