MCASS: Turkish Validation of the Multidimensional Cognitive Attentional Syndrome Scale

A Turkish validation study of the Multidimensional Cognitive Attentional Syndrome Scale (MCASS) involving 229 participants (115 patients and 114 healthy controls). The dataset, authored by Kadir Ozdel and last updated in May 2026, contains psychometric analysis results supporting a modified 20-item, seven-factor structure for use in clinical and non-clinical settings.

Use Cases

• Validate psychometric scales based on confirmatory factor analysis results for a seven-factor structure.
• Assess measurement invariance across clinical and non-clinical groups based on configural and metric invariance findings.
• Evaluate test-retest reliability for psychological instruments based on ICC scores ranging from 0.620 to 0.741.
• Analyze concurrent validity of psychological scales based on moderate correlations (r=0.316–0.522) with related constructs.

Strengths

• Validation involved 229 participants, split between patient and control groups.
• Internal consistency metrics are reported, with Cronbach’s α ranging from 0.694 to 0.954.
• Test-retest reliability for the total score is reported as ICC=0.705.

Limitations

• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• The dataset is very small at 24.8 KB, indicating limited scope.
