Sluggish Cognitive Tempo (SCT) has been proposed as a serious problem of attention, however there no validated psychometric measures for its evaluation in Turkish in a community sample. The present study aimed to examine the psychometric characteristics of the first SCT scale in Turkish in children and adolescents. A total of 418 children and adolescents between the ages of 6-18 years (9.83±2.8) were recruited. The data was obtained from parents using Sluggish Cognitive Tempo Scale and Strengths and Difficulties Questionnaire. The SCT scale-Turkish form demonstrated very good internal homogeneity (Cronbach’s α = .90), good test-retest reliability (r = .98), good concurrent validity (r range = .35- .65) and good construct validity. Goodness of fit indices were found to be acceptable and statistically significant associations were found between SDQ and SCT scales. The SCT scale is a valid and reliable instrument in Turkish children and adolescents.

迟缓的认知节奏 (SCT) 已被提出作为一个严重的关注问题，但是在社区样本中没有经过验证的土耳其语评估心理测量方法。本研究旨在检查土耳其语第一个 SCT 量表在儿童和青少年中的心理测量特征。共招募了 418 名 6-18 岁（9.83±2.8）岁的儿童和青少年。这些数据是使用迟缓认知节奏量表和优势和困难问卷从父母那里获得的。SCT 量表-土耳其形式表现出非常好的内部同质性 (Cronbach's α = .90)、良好的重测信度 (r = .98)、良好的同时效度 ( r范围 = .35- .65) 和良好的结构效度。发现拟合优度指数是可以接受的，并且在 SDQ 和 SCT 量表之间发现了统计学上显着的关联。SCT 量表是土耳其儿童和青少年有效且可靠的工具。
