Özet

Factorial Structure, validity, and reliability of the Multidimensional Scale of Perceived Social Support (MSPSS) were investigated. Using samples consisting of normals and subjects with medical or psychiatric/psychological problems, the three factors (subscales) were obtained. The internal consistency of the MSPSS and its subscales were high. The scales correlated significantly in general, in the expected direction with measures of depression and anxiety, thus supporting its construct validity. Group comparisons in terms of sex, marital status, and health status were also reported.
