Abstract: Objective : To examine psychometric properties of Psychological Flexibility Scale forAdolescents (PFSA).Method : The samples were 312 high school students. For validity, confirmatory factoranalysis (CFA) was utilized for factorial validation. Concurrent validity was assessed ascorrelation with Acceptance and action questionnaire (AAQ-II). Moreover, nomologicalnetwork with depression and mindfulness was investigated. For reliability, Cronbach’salpha coefficients and ω coefficients were estimated.Result : The findings suggested that the 6-factor model of the PFSA demonstrated goodfactor structures (χ2= 510.818, df = 309, p < .001, χ2/df = 1.653, CFI = .952, RMSEA =.046). Moreover, it was found that psychological flexibility score was associated withdepression and mindfulness in accordance with theoretical expectation. In addition,the PFSA demonstrated good internal reliabilities (Cronbach’s α ranged from .603 to.790 and full-scale reliability at .897; ω reliability coefficients ranged from .634 to .847,and full-scale reliability at .937)Conclusion : The findings supported that the Psychological Flexibility Scale forAdolescents is psychometrically sound questionnaire, which can be used for assessingpsychological flexibility in adolescents.
