Summary/Abstract: Internet-based interventions in the field of psychological help means presenting scientifically proven psychotherapeutic interventions to prevent and treat psychological disorders or to increase the well-being and coping skills of users, through an online web page, mobile application or computer software generally with a guide who is a mental health professional or in a form that users can use on their own. In this study, the Turkish adaptation of the e-Therapy Attitudes Measure, which is used to evaluate attitudes towards internet-based interventions, was carried out. The participant group of the research consisted of 414 (313 females and 101 males) university students. The obtained confirmatory factor analysis results generally confirmed the structure of the original scale. The scale, renamed the Attitudes Towards Internet-Based Interventions Scale with the author's permission, consisted of "Perceived Usefulness and Usefulness" and "Relative Advantage and Comparability" sub-dimensions. In the analyzes performed to determine the reliability of the scale in the existing data, it was found that the internal consistency coefficient for the whole scale was sufficient for the whole scale and the results of the measurement tool did not change over time according to the test-retest application. The measurement tool, which consists of 16 items, is a valid and reliable assessment tool that can be used to evaluate individuals' attitudes towards internet-based interventions.
