Cross-Cultural Adaptation and Psychometric Evaluation of the Turkish Perceived Ageism Questionnaire (PAQ-TR)
The PAQ-TR demonstrated adequate psychometric properties for assessing perceived ageism among older adults in Türkiye. While the Negative subscale showed robust reliability, the positive subscale required refinement. These findings highlight both the cross-cultural validity of the PAQ and the influence of cultural norms on positive aging perception. The PAQ-TR is a valuable tool for research and clinical practice.
