This study has two aims: to examine the psychometric properties of the Three-Dimensional Contribution Scale in adults and to reveal how the contribution supports authenticity. To attain the first aim, a total of 198 individuals (105 females, 93 males) were included in the study. The result of the confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the scale maintained its three-factor structure. The internal consistency coefficient of the scale was determined to be.88. Regarding the criterion-related validity, a significant positive relationship was determined between the Three-Dimensional Contribution Scale and the Brief Resilience Scale. As a result, it can be said that the present scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool that can be used to determine contribution levels in adults. To accomplish the second aim of the study, a total of 383 individuals (184 females, 197 males, and two individuals with no sex specification) were enrolled in the study. The examination of the findings of the simple linear regression analysis of authenticity and the subscales of authenticity indicated that contribution supported the authentic living subscale of the authenticity positively. However, it was also found that contribution supported the self-alienation subscale of the authenticity negatively and that there was no significant relationship between the acceptance of external influences subscale and the total score of authenticity. In conclusion, it can be said that as the level of contribution increases, the authenticity of individuals will increase, as well.

The aim of the current study is to develop a multidimensional scale that will enable us to determine the feelings, thoughts and behaviors associated with COVID-19 and the precautions individuals take against this virus. The scale prepared for this purpose was tested on two different samples consisting of 250 and 285 individuals. The first sample, in which the factor structure was determined, consisted of 250 individuals (%73.2 female, %26.8 male) aged 18-64.The second sample, in which the confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was performed, consisted of 285 individuals (%72.3 female, %27.7 male) aged 18-64. Brief Symptom Inventory, Intolerance of Uncertainty Scale and The Brief Resilience Scale were used as co-validity criteria. As a result of the statistical analyses, a 22-item scale was obtained, consisting of three factors: "Feelings and behaviors related to COVID-19", "Thoughts about COVID-19" and "Precautions taken related to COVID-19". The fit indices obtained as a result of the CFA were within the acceptable limits. All validity and reliability analyses showed that the scale is a valid and reliable measurement tool. Multi-Dimensional COVID-19 Scale could be evaluated as a valid and reliable scale which would be used in studies conducted in clinical psychology and health psychology in Turkey.
