description Background/aim: The aim of this research is to adapt the Intercultural Communication Apprehension Scale to Turkish and to examine its psychometric properties. Materials and methods: This methodological study was conducted to investigate the validity and reliability of the Intercultural Communication Apprehension Scale. The research was conducted on 348 university students from Nursing Faculty of Ataturk University, Turkey. Results: In order to determine the construct validity of Intercultural Communication Apprehension Scale, factor analysis was conducted using principal components analysis with varimax rotation. The factor analysis resulted in two factors; focus on positive and negative sub-scale. The Cronbach's alpha for the Intercultural Communication Apprehension Scale was .89. Item analyses showed corrected item-total correlations were between .33 and .71. Conclusion: Based on these results, it can be concluded that Turkish version of Intercultural Communication Apprehension Scale is a valid and reliable measurement in assessing university students' intercultural communication apprehension.
