Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the psychometric properties of Turkish form of the New Sexual Satisfaction Scale (NSSS) that was developed by Å tulhofera et al. (2010). The study was conducted on 200 male and 200 female. The results of Confirmatory Factor Analysis showed that NSSS had good fit indexes. The internal consistency coefficient was accounted as .82, item total correlations showed good level representativeness, and the scale provided the criterion validity. Accordingly, this study suggests that the Turkish form of the The New Sexual Satisfaction Scale could be a useful assessment tool when it comes to measuring sexual satisfaction in Turkey.
