| Abstract: | The aim of this study is to adapt the Digital Maturity Inventory, originally developed by Laaber et al. (2023), into Turkish and to examine its psychometric properties. As part of the adaptation process, the original English version was translated into Turkish using the back-translation method. The Turkish version of the inventory was administered to 879 undergraduate students from two universities located in the eastern and southern regions of Türkiye across three different time points. Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was conducted on data collected from 348 students, and the results confirmed the original ten-dimensional structure of the inventory. For criterion-related validity, the Digital Literacy Scale and the Mobile Information Security Awareness Scale were administered to 281 students, and correlation coefficients were calculated. Reliability evidence was evaluated through internal consistency coefficients and composite reliability values. Additionally, to assess the temporal stability of the inventory, it was re-administered to a subsample of 228 students from the CFA group, and test-retest reliability was calculated. The findings indicate that the Turkish version of the Digital Maturity Inventory is a valid and reliable measurement tool. |
