The Sense of Purpose Scale 2 (SOPS-2) is a revised version of the Sense of Purpose Scale (SOPS) which aims to evaluate sense of purpose with a multidimensional conceptualization. The purpose of the present study was to validate a Turkish version of the SOPS-2 for Turkish college students, by first translating it into the Turkish language, and then examining its psychometric properties. With this purpose, data were collected from 237 undergraduate students, studying at a statefounded Turkish university, in the fall term of 2018-2019 academic year. Following the translation procedures, the psychometric properties of the Turkish SOPS2 have been analyzed using Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA), criterion-related validity, and internal consistency methods. Results of CFA indicated that the original threedimensional model (Awareness of purpose, Altruistic purpose, and Awakening to purpose) is accaptable (χ2/df=2.14, CFI= .96; GFI= .91 ve NFI= .93; RMSEA= .07). Results of Pearson Moments Correlation revealed that the Turkish version of the SOPS-2 had satisfactory criterion-related validity with the measure of satisfaction with life (r=.54, p<.01). Furthermore, item-total correlations ranged between .44 and .79, and Cronbach’s alpha coefficient calculated for the total scale (α=.91) and for the Awareness of purpose, Altruistic purpose and Awakening to purpose sub-scales (α= .92, α=.84, and α=.84, respectively) were found high, indicating good internal consistency. As a result, findings of this preliminary study suggest that the Turkish version of the SOPS-2 is a valid and reliable tool for measuring sense of purpose in life for Turkish undergraduate students.
