| Özet |
| The Creativity Anxiety Scale (CAS; Daker et al., 2020) has been validated in several contexts, but no Turkish adaptation has yet been undertaken. This study aimed to adapt the CAS into Turkish and evaluate its psychometric properties among 344 middle school students. Following a rigorous translation–back translation procedure and expert review, confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted. The initial two-factor model, distinguishing creativity anxiety (CA) from non-creativity anxiety (NCA), showed poor fit. Sequentially freeing residual covariances between matched CA–NCA items substantially improved fit, yielding excellent indices (CFI = 0.987; TLI = 0.983; RMSEA = 0.042; SRMR = 0.023). Reliability analyses indicated strong internal consistency (α = .93 for CA; α = .91 for NCA). However, the near-unity correlation between CA and NCA suggests overlap with general evaluative anxiety and potential method effects. Despite these limitations, the Turkish CAS provides a valid and reliable instrument to investigate creativity-specific anxiety and its educational implications in the Turkish context. |
