(Soc Behav Pers 30(8):821-836, 2002). The study includes two convenience samples, comprising a total of 659 university students. The test-retest reliability study was carried out in a private university in Istanbul. The validity study was carried out in a state university that is located in Samsun, a city in the black sea region of Turkey. Both schools recruit students coming from various regions in Turkey. The results revealed a 10-item scale as a better fit compared to the original 20-item scale. The presence of both subfactors self-reflection and insight were confirmed. The Cronbach's alpha for the whole scale was .70, .80 for the self-reflection and .65 for the insight subscales. The convergent and discriminant validity analyses revealed a negative relationship between private self-consciousness and insight scores, positive relationship between self-reflection and social anxiety plus external locus of control. There was no significant relationship between private self-consciousness and self-reflection scores. A negative relationship was found between insight and public self-consciousness, a positive relationship between mindfulness and insight scores, and finally a nonsignificant relationship between narcissism and insight scores.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessSelf-reflectionInsightPrivate self-consciousnessValidityReliabilityArticle621213410.1007/s12646-017-0390-12-s2.0-85017239436Q3WOS:000540036100003N/A
