Description
Oguz Peker and co-authors test a Turkish version of a 29-item questionnaire on reward deficiency syndrome, a pattern tied to weak pleasure response, risk seeking, and social strain. Their 2025 study asks whether the translated scale measures what it should, and does so steadily, in Turkish speakers.
A total of 481 people filled in the scale plus related measures. The team checked the scale's structure and found one broad factor plus four narrower ones fit the data well. Scores were stable over a two-week gap and lined up with related scales as expected. The study gives Turkish clinicians and researchers a checked tool for this trait.
