This study examined the validity and reliability of the Emotional Creativity Inventory in Türkiye. ''Emotional Creativity Inventory'' consists of three sub-dimensions, thirty items and a five-point Likert scale. Before starting the process of adapting the scale to Turkish culture, permission was first requested from the corresponding author via e-mail. After obtaining the necessary permission for the scale, five different experts translated the original scale items from English to Turkish. Then, the translation process continued with a panel of doctoral students. Two experts then translated the Turkish form back into English and a pilot study was conducted with thirty participants to assess the linguistic comprehensibility of the items. With the help of a language expert and input from the pilot study, the final Turkish form was created. The final Turkish form was prepared with the help of a Turkish language expert and the results obtained from the pilot study. Confirmatory factor analysis of the structural equation model was applied to assess the Turkish validity of the scale, and internal consistency coefficient values were calculated to test its reliability. According to the reliability and validity values, it was concluded that the scale is suitable for Turkish culture.
