The aim of the study is to examine the psychometric properties of the Mindfulness in Parenting Questionnaire developed by McCaffrey, Reitman and Black (2017) in Turkish parents. At the beginning of the study, linguistic equivalence was examined. After observing that the scale is linguistically equivalent to the original form, the Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) was applied for testing the construct validity. The results showed that goodness of fit indices of the scale are within acceptable ranges for the two factor structure (?[superscript 2/sd]=1.927, RMSEA=0.049, GFI=0.90, CFI=0.90, IFI=0.90) as well as for the single factor model of the scale (?[superscript 2/sd]=1.904, RMSEA=0.049, GFI=0.90, CFI=0.90, TLI=0.90). The Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficient was found to range between 0.73 and 0.87 for each subscale and the whole scale. The results revealed that corrected item total correlations were between 0.50 and 0.85 and the t-test results for the upper 27% and lower 27% of scores were significant (p<0.05). Also, the scale was found to be significantly correlated to the Parent-Child Communication Scale and the Mindful Attention Awareness Scale. To conclude, Mindfulness in Parenting Questionnaire appears to be a valid and reliable measure of mindful parenting in Turkish parents.
