MINDFULNESS, 2025 (SSCI, Scopus)
Objectives This study aimed to adapt the Mindful Consumption Scale (MCS) to Turkish-speaking populations and assess its psychometric properties. Additionally, the relationships between mindful consumption and self-esteem, mindfulness, conspicuous consumption, and life satisfaction were examined to establish the construct validity. Method A total of 541 Turkish-speaking adults participated in the study. The translation and adaptation process followed a standard back-translation procedure. The translation and linguistic adaptation process of MCS was completed. Rosenberg Self-Esteem Scale, Mindful Attention Awareness Scale, Conspicuous Consumption Orientation Scale and Life Satisfaction Scale were utilized. Results The three-factor structure of MCS was confirmed with acceptable fit indices after modifications (chi(2)/df = 3.94, CFI = 0.94, TLI = 0.91, RMSEA = 0.08). The reliability of the scale was satisfactory (Cronbach's alpha = 0.82). As expected, MCS was positively correlated with self-esteem (r = 0.38, p < 0.001), mindfulness (r = 0.41, p < 0.001), and life satisfaction (r = 0.36, p < 0.001), while it was negatively correlated with conspicuous consumption (r = - 0.29, p < 0.001). These findings support the scale's validity. Conclusions The Turkish version of MCS demonstrated sound psychometric properties, confirming its applicability in Turkish-speaking populations. This study introduces a useful measure that can support subsequent research on mindful consumption.
