Abstract (2. Language): 
According to the Reinforcement Sensitivity Theory (Gray, 1987, 1990), there are two basic motivational systems which are sensitive to signals of reward (Behavioral Activation System- BAS) and punishment (Behavioral Inhibition System-BIS). One of the most commonly used instrument for evaluating these two systems is BIS/BAS Scales (Carver and White, 1994). The purpose of this study is to determine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the BIS/ BAS Scales. The Turkish scale was administered to 371 college undergraduates. In order to determine the validity of the scale; exploratory factor analysis was conducted using principal components analysis, inter-correlations among the subscales were examined with Pearson correlation analysis, Sensation Seeking Scale-V and I-7 Impulsiveness Questionnaire were also administered to 89 subjects for convergent validity. For the reliability study, Cronbach’s alpha coefficients and test-retest reliability values were calculated. Factor analysis indicated that the same 4-factor structure (behavioral inhibition, fun seeking, reward responsiveness and drive). Alpha and reliability values were significant and the expected correlations were determined among the similar subscales of the three scales. These results suggested that the Turkish BIS/BAS Scales is a valid and reliable measure.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Gray’in (1987, 1990) önerdiği Pekiştirmeye Duyarlılık Teorisi’ne göre, ceza (Davranışsal İnhibisyon Sistemi-DİS) ve ödül (Davranışsal Aktivasyon Sistemi-DAS) sinyallerine duyarlı olan iki temel motivasyonel sistem vardır. Bu iki sistemi incelemek için en sık kullanılan ölçek ise, Carver ve White (1994) tarafından geliştirilen DİS/DAS Ölçeği’dir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, DİS/ DAS Ölçeği’nin Türkçeye uyarlanması ile geçerlik ve güvenirliğinin tespit edilmesidir. Türkçeye çevrilen ölçek 371 üniversite öğrencisine uygulanmıştır. Geçerlik çalışmasında; temel bileşenler analizi ile açıklayıcı faktör analizi yürütülmüş, Pearson korelasyon analizi ile alt ölçekler arasındaki ilişki incelenmiş ve birleşen geçerlik tespiti için ise 89 öğrenciye ayrıca Heyecan Arama Ölçeği-V ve I-7 Dürtüsellik Ölçeği de uygulanmıştır. Güvenirlik çalışmasında, cronbach alfa katsayıları ile test-tekrar test güvenirlik değerleri saptanmıştır. Faktör analizi, orijinal ölçekteki 4-faktörlü yapıyı (davranışsal inhibisyon, eğlence arayışı, ödüle duyarlılık ve dürtü) desteklemiştir. Ayrıca, alfa ve güvenirlik değerleri anlamlı olup uygulanan üç ölçeğin benzer alt ölçekleri arasında beklenen yönde korelasyonlar elde edilmiştir. Sonuçlar, Türkçe DİS/DAS Ölçeği’nin geçerli ve güvenilir bir ölçek olduğunu göstermektedir.
