In this paper, it was aimed to adapt the Positive Mental Health Scale (PMHS) into Turkish language. In total 360 university students with ages ranging from 18 to 25, participated in the research.

The psychometric properties of the scale were examined by internal consistency, exploratory and confirmatory factor analysis, it comes in view that the scale has a single factor structure. Related to the PMHS, the internal consistency coefficient was found .85.
