Abstract
Self-as-context seems to contribute to psychological flexibility within the model on which acceptance and commitment therapy is based. Unlike US samples, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses with two Turkish samples revealed one rather than two dimensions on which 9 of 10 items loaded. A differential item functioning analysis identified three items that US and Turkish samples endorsed significantly differently. This difference may account for this measurement invariance. The Turkish version of the scale displayed convergent validity as its scores were significantly correlated, albeit relatively weaker than US samples, with a measure of psychological flexibility and two other processes, cognitive fusion, and mindfulness, thought to contribute to psychological flexibility. Preliminary evaluation of the psychometric properties of the SACS-TR supports its inclusion in further research and clinical practice that may help illuminate measurement invariance in assessing processes like self-as-context across diverse cultural samples.
