- Abstract
Objective: It was aimed in this study to translate the 19-item Trypophobia Questionnaire (TQ) to Turkish and determine its psychometric reliability and validity. Method: The study included 154 volunteers consisting of the students and employees of Bezmialem Vakıf University, and their family members. The Sociodemographic Questionnaire prepared by the researchers, the Turkish version of the Structured Clinical Interview for axis-1 disorders (SCID-I) of the Diagnostic and Statistical Manual of Mental Disorders (DSM- IV-TR), the Turkish versions of the Disgust Sensitivity Scale-Revised Form (DS-R-TR) and the Hamilton Anxiety Rating Scale (HAM-A-TR) were used. Results: Turkish Trypophobia Questionnaire (TQ-TR) discriminated between healthy and phobic individuals. Factor analysis on the TQ-TR resulted in a single factor structure as in the original study. The TQ-TR showed a high level of internal consistency with a Cronbach's α coefficient of 0.955. Conclusion: TQ-TR is a valid and reliable psychometric tool to assess trypophobia in the Turkish population.
