The study aimed to develop the " Small 't' Trauma Effects Determination Scale " in order to determine the small 't' trauma effects. The study group was made of individuals over the age of 18. Within the scope of the psychometric examinations of the scale, n=549 participants were included in the study for exploratory factor analysis (EFA), n=317 participants for confirmative factor analysis (CFA), and n=89 participants for test-retest. As a result of EFA, it was determined that the scale had a three-factor structure explaining the 54.22% of the total variance. These factors are Negative Effects on Self and Future Perception (NESFP), Negative Effects on Emotions, Thoughts, and Behaviors (NEETB), and Negative Effects on Body Sense (NEBS). The factor loadings of the scale items ranges from .41 to .77 for NESFP, from .52 to .79 for NEETB, and from .51 to .77 for NEBS. After CFA, the goodness of fit values were found chi 2/sd (2462.79/776) =3.17, p=.001, SRMR= .060; NNFI=.97; IFI=.97; CFI=.97; RMSEA=.083 (confidence interval for RMSEA=.079-.087). The Cronbach's alpha internal consistency coefficients calculated as a result of the reliability analysis were .97 for the whole scale, .93 for the NESFP, .94 for the NEETB, and .91 for the NEBS. According the study findings, the "Small 't' Trauma Effects Scale " has adequate validity and reliability values in determining the small 't' trauma effects.
