The purpose of current study was to explore psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Balanced Index of Psychological Mindedness (BIPM). Studies regarding psychological mindedness (PM) are still limited in Turkey; and there are few valid instruments to measure PM. The Turkish version of the BIPM and the 20-Item Toronto Alexithymia Scale (TAS) was administered to 654 voluntary undergraduate students. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a good fit for the model including two subscales (interest and ability dimensions of PM) with a total of 14 items (x²/df = 3.11, p < .001, RMSEA = 0.060, S-RMR = 0.059, GFI = 0.95, AGFI = .0.93, CFI = 0.94). McDonald’s Omega (ω) for scores on the overall scale was .85, .73 for scores on the Interest Subscale and .76 for scores on the Insight Subscale. Test–retest reliability coefficients were found as .61 for the scores on the BIPM total score, .55 for scores on the Interest subscale and .56 for scores on the Insight subscale (p < .01). As expected, the BIPM total scale score were negatively correlated with TAS total score (r = -.59).

当前研究的目的是探索土耳其版本的心理思维平衡指数（BIPM）的心理测量特性。在土耳其，关于心理意识（PM）的研究仍然有限；测量 PM 的有效仪器很少。土耳其语版本的 BIPM 和 20 项多伦多述情障碍量表 (TAS) 对 654 名志愿本科生进行了管理。验证性因素分析表明模型拟合良好，包括两个分量表（PM 的兴趣和能力维度），共 14 个项目 ( x ² / df = 3.11, p < .001, RMSEA = 0.060, S-RMR = 0.059, GFI = 0.95, AGFI = .0.93, CFI = 0.94)。麦当劳欧米茄 (ω) 的整体量表得分为 0.85，兴趣分量表得分为 0.73，洞察分量表得分为 0.76。BIPM 总分的重测信度系数为 0.61，兴趣分量表得分为 0.55，洞察分量表得分为 0.56（p < .01）。正如预期的那样，BIPM 总分与 TAS 总分呈负相关（r = -.59）。
