Abstract
- Aim: This study aims to examine the psychometric properties of the "Masculine Depression Scale" (MDS) in Turkish male university students. Design and Method: This methodological study was conducted with 337 male university students in 2018. Results: Exploratory factor analysis (EFA) reduced the total item number from 44 to 18; the scale included two factors explaining 51.94% of the total variance. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) showed standard regression coefficients between.59 and.75. The Cronbach's α values were.74 to.92 and item‐total coefficients were 0.22 to 0.71. Implementation Results: The two‐factor, 18‐item MDS is appropriate to assess masculine depression properties in Turkish male university students. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
