Abstract：
The Defense Mechanisms Rating Scales-Self Report-30 (DMRS-SR-30) was recently developed to add a self-report alternative to the assessment of defenses, reflecting their generally accepted hierarchical organization. In this study, we aimed to examine psychometric properties and factor structure of the Turkish language version of the DMRS-SR-30. The sample consisted of 1.002 participants who filled out a survey comprising the DMRS-SR-30, the Brief Symptom Inventory, and the Inventory of Personality Organization through Qualtrics. Confirmatory Factor Analysis indicated a three-factor structure (CFI = 0.89, RMSEA = 0.05) that confirms the DMRS theoretical frame with a relatively acceptable fit. Defensive categories and total scale scores showed good to excellent reliability (α values ranging from 0.64 to 0.89). Correlations between defenses, symptoms, and personality functioning demonstrated good convergent and discriminant validity. The individuals with clinically significant BSI scores (T-score ≥ 63) differed on the DMRS-SR-30 scores from the individuals in the non-clinical range. The Turkish version of the DMRS-SR-30 is a reliable and valid instrument to self-assess the hierarchy of defense mechanisms and overall defensive functioning. Moreover, the current study supports the validity of the tripartite model of defenses in a language and culture different from the origins of the DMRS and DMRS-SR-30.
摘要：
最近开发了防御机制评级量表-自我报告-30（DMRS-SR-30），以增加自我报告替代防御评估，反映了他们普遍接受的等级组织。在这项研究中,我们旨在研究土耳其语版本的DMRS-SR-30的心理测量特性和因子结构。样本由1.002名参与者组成，他们填写了一项调查，其中包括DMRS-SR-30，简要症状清单，以及通过定性对人格组织的盘点。验证性因素分析表明三因素结构（CFI=0.89，RMSEA=0.05），证实了DMRS理论框架具有相对可接受的拟合。防御类别和总量表得分显示出良好的可靠性（α值在0.64至0.89之间）。防御之间的相关性，症状,人格功能表现出良好的收敛效度和判别效度。具有临床意义的BSI评分（T评分≥63）的个体在DMRS-SR-30评分上与非临床范围内的个体不同。土耳其版本的DMRS-SR-30是一种可靠且有效的工具，可以自我评估防御机制的层次结构和整体防御功能。此外，当前的研究支持在与DMRS和DMRS-SR-30起源不同的语言和文化中防御的三方模型的有效性。
