The purpose of this study is to investigate the psychometric properties of the Turkish version of the Distress Disclosure Index (DDI). Participants were 333 high school students. In this study, as construct validity, exploratory and confirmatory factor analyses were executed. As reliability analysis internal consistency coefficients, the item-total correlations were examined. Barlett Spehericity test was applied and Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) coefficient was calculated. The consequence of analysis result displayed that the model was well fit (x²=116.05, sd=50, p=0.00, RMSEA=.063, NFI=.97, NNFI=.97, CFI=.98, IFI=.98, RFI=.95, GFI=.94, and SRMR=.45). Cronbach alfa coefficient of the items were .86. The results of analysis showed that DDI had high validity score of Turkish culture and DDI can be utilized as a valid and reliable instrument.
