ADAPTATION STUDY OF ENVIRONMENTAL SENSITIVITY SCALE FOR ADULTS

The aim of this research is to adapt the Environ-mental Sensitivity Scale for Children which was de-veloped by Basal, Dogan & Atasoy (2007) to adult and to examine its psychometric properties. This research is a descriptive study of the screening model. The population of this research consists o...
