Psychometric validation of the Barkley SCT (sluggish cognitive tempo) scale in Turkish adolescents: Assessing SCT in a clinically referred, culturally distinct population

CONCLUSION: The Turkish version of the Barkley SCT Scale demonstrates sound psychometric properties for assessing SCT in adolescents. ESEM findings underscore the multidimensionality of SCT and its partial dissociation from ADHD constructs. While these results support the scale’s clinical utility within the Turkish context, further cross-cultural research is needed to determine whether similar findings would emerge in other populations. This study provides an initial foundation for future…
