Abstract The aim of this study was to adapt the Abbreviated Technology Anxiety Scale (ATAS) to Turkish culture. The study was designed as a methodological research. The research was conducted with 274 students studying at the nursing department of a university. Language, content, construct, and criterion-related validity analyses were performed. Reliability was assessed using internal consistency coefficients, item-total correlations, lower-upper 27% group analyses, and test-retest reliability. The results revealed an 11-item, two-factor structure. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient for the ATAS was found to be 0.87. The differences between the lower and upper 27% groups were significant for all items. High and positive correlations were found between the subscale and total scale scores obtained from the first and second administrations. Confirmatory factor analysis indicated a good model fit. As a result, the 11-item, two-factor ATAS emerged from the study was found to be a valid and reliable measurement tool for use in Turkish culture.
