Özet
The aim of the present study was to adapt the Brief Beneficence Satisfaction Scale (BBSS) (Martela & Ryan, 2015) into Turkish context and to test its psychometric properties. The study included a community sample of 322 (61% women, 30% men and 9% unspecified). Confirmatory factor analysis verified a four-item single factor model. The BBSS-TR showed positive correlations with altruism and subjective happiness, indicating similar correlation coefficients as in the original study. The Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient for the BBSS-TR was .85. Results concluded that the BBSS-TR is a valid and reliable measure to be used in future research. The importance of beneficence satisfaction as a new psychological concept has been discussed.
