Abstract (2. Language): 
The aim of this study is to examine validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Situational Self- Awareness Scale (Govern & Marsch, 2001). The sample of this study consisted of 328 undergraduate students. The results of confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the 9 items and three dimensional (immediate surroundings, private self-awareness, public self-awareness) situational self-awareness model was well fit (x²= 42.30, df= 20, p= .00253, RMSEA= .057, CFI= .98, IFI= .98, NFI= .96, GFI= .97, and SRMR= .039). The internal consistency reliability coefficients of the scale were .80, .64, and .40 for three subscales, respectively. The corrected item-total correlations ranged from .27 to .69.
