Randomized trial examines psychometric properties of Turkish scales in children and adolescents, indicating strengths and weaknesses.

This study evaluates the validity and reliability of the Turkish versions of the Executive Functioning Scale and Daily Living Skills Scale in youth.
Sample included 197 participants aged 11-18, with 107 having neurodevelopmental disorders and 90 being healthy controls.
Internal consistency assessed using Cronbach's alpha; test-retest reliability evaluated over 2 weeks for a subsample of 37 parents.
Construct validity examined through confirmatory factor analysis and correlations with other validated measures.
EFS demonstrated high internal consistency (α = 0.969) and strong test-retest reliability (r = 0.869).
DLSS showed high internal consistency (α = 0.959) and good test-retest reliability (r = 0.823).
CFA indicated inadequate model fit for both scales, suggesting original factor structures were not replicated.

Karaca et al. (2026) studied this question.
