- Turkish adaptation of the Social Abuse Scale (SAS-T) validated with 183 adults, demonstrating construct validity via correlations with established measures.
- Exploratory factor analysis extracted three factors accounting for 72.42% of variance; KMO 0.944 and Bartlett's test significant.
- Excellent internal consistency: Cronbach's alpha .962, .946, .928 for subscales and .978 for total scale, supporting reliability and clinical use.

ABSTRACT
This study adapted the Social Abuse Scale into Turkish (SAS-T) and investigated the psychometric properties with 183 adults. Construct validity was tested via correlations with three valid and reliable scales. The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin value was .944, and Bartlett’s test yielded χ2(435) = 6340.62, p < .001. Exploratory factor analysis identified three factors explaining 72.42% of the variance. Cronbach’s alpha reliability values for Surveillance/control, Intrusions into privacy and boundaries, Disempowering in social and personal spaces subscales, and total scale were .962, .946, .928, and .978, respectively. Findings indicate SAS-T is a valid and reliable instrument. Clinical implications are suggested.
