Abstract
The aim of this study was to adapt the English version of De Jong Gierveld Loneliness Scale into Turkish
language. In the adaptation process, translations done by five translators were evaluated by experts in English
and Turkish language and psychology. The form prepared after the evaluation process was applied to a study
group consisting of 613 students aged between 18 and 25. In order to test the suitability of the factor structure of
the adapted scale, explanatory factor analysis and confirmatory factor analysis were conducted. As a result, it
was observed that the obtained data confirmed the structure of the two factors as emotional and social. Factor
loadings for the corresponding scale were between 0.52 and 0.83 and Cronbach Alfa Internal Consistency
Coefficient was calculated .873.
