Reliability and validity of a Turkish version of the Passionate Love Scale

Our purpose in this study was to evaluate the reliability and validity of a Turkish version of the Passionate Love Scale (PLS). Participants in the study were 150 undergraduate students. We assessed the construct validity of the PLS using confirmatory factor analysis. To assess the reliability of the PLS we calculated the internal consistency coefficient and found that the Cronbach’s alpha was .89. Our results indicated that the PLS was a valid and reliable measure of passionate love with a Turkish population.
