Adaptation of the Non-Attachment Scale (NAS-7) and its associations with hope, social connectedness, and life satisfaction.

What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
Non-attachment, a construct rooted in Eastern and Buddhist philosophy, describes responding to experiences without clinging to transient thoughts or conditions. This research aimed to adapt the 7-item Non-Attachment Scale (NAS-7) into Turkish and evaluate its psychometric properties. The project consisted of two studies. Study I (N = 404) examined the scale's factor structure using Confirmatory Factor Analysis, assessed item discrimination through Item Response Theory, and evaluated reliability using Cronbach's α, McDonald's ϲ, and Guttmann's λ6; measurement invariance across gender was also tested but not supported. Study II (N = 417) investigated the associations among non-attachment, hope, social connectedness, and life satisfaction using correlation analyses and Structural Equation Modeling. Results indicated that the NAS-7 demonstrated strong model fit, high internal consistency, and robust item discrimination. Additionally, hope and social connectedness simultaneously mediated the link between non-attachment and life satisfaction. Overall, the findings demonstrate that the Turkish NAS-7 is a valid and reliable instrument and that non-attachment contributes to life satisfaction both directly and indirectly, filling an important gap in the literature regarding the assessment of non-attachment in the Turkish context.
