The purpose of this research is to examine the validity and reliability of the Turkish version of the Dispositional Positive Emotion Scales (Shiota, Keltner, & John, 2006). Participants were 294 undergraduate students (169 were female and 125 were male) from Sakarya University. The results of confirmatory factor analysis indicated that the seven-dimensional model was acceptable (x2= 1490.20, df= 637, RMSEA=.068, CFI=.81, IFI=.82, and SRMR=.081). The internal consistency coefficients of seven subscales were .78, .82, .72, .63, .83, .49 and .65, respectively. Overall findings demonstrated that this scale had adequate validity and reliability scores and that it may be used as a valid and reliable instrument in order to assess disposition positive emotions (joy, contentment, pride, love, compassion, amusement, and awe) levels of individuals
