Özet

The main purpose of the present study was to investigate psychometric properties of Fisher Divorce Adjustment Scale (FDAS; Fisher, 1978) in a Turkish sample. One hundred and twenty-nine Turkish divorced individuals participated in the current study. In general, the findings of the reliability and validity analyses supported the usage of the FDAS in a Turkish sample. Instead of the six as in the original FDAS, the Turkish version of the scale revealed five subscales as grief reaction, disentanglement from relationship, self-worth, anger, and trust and intimacy. Reliability analysis indicated that FDAS and its factors had adequate internal consistencies and split-half reliability coefficients. Consistent with the expectations, FDAS scores were found to be significantly and positively correlated with psychological distress and negatively associated with perceived social support and general life satisfaction measures.
