Objective: The Movement Imagery Questionnaire for Children (MIQ-C) was developed as a tool to evaluate children's imagery capabilities. It comprises 3 subcomponents: internal visual imagery, external visual imagery, and kinesthetic imagery. This study aimed to cross-culturally adapt the MIQ-C to Turkish. Materials and Methods: A total of 120 healthy children (mean age 9.43 ± 1.66 years; 67 males and 53 females) were enrolled. The structure of the questionnaire was confirmed by the use of both construct and criterion validity. The questionnaire was administered to the children at intervals of 1 week to assess internal consistency and test-retest reliability. Results: The confirmatory factor analysis validated the 3-factor construct of the MIQ-C, and the model showed a satisfactory fit to the data set. The internal consistency of the Turkish MIQ-C (Cronbach's α coefficient = 0.94) and the intraclass coefficient (ICC) reliability (ICC values ranging from 0.93 to 0.96) were found to be excellent. Conclusion: The present findings suggest that the Turkish version of the MIQ-C is a valid and reliable instrument for the assessment of imagery ability in Turkish-speaking children.
儿童运动想象问卷（MIQ-C）是作为评估儿童想象能力的一种工具而开发的。它包含3个亚成分：内部视觉想象、外部视觉想象和动觉想象。本研究旨在对MIQ-C进行跨文化改编以适用于土耳其语。材料与方法：共纳入120名健康儿童（平均年龄9.43±1.66岁；男67名，女53名）。通过结构效度和效标效度的运用来确认问卷的结构。每隔1周对儿童进行一次问卷调查，以评估内部一致性和重测信度。结果：验证性因素分析证实了MIQ-C的三因素结构，且该模型对数据集显示出良好的拟合度。土耳其语版MIQ-C的内部一致性（克朗巴哈α系数=0.94）和组内相关系数（ICC）信度（ICC值范围为0.93至0.96）均非常出色。结论：目前的研究结果表明，土耳其语版MIQ-C是评估说土耳其语儿童想象能力的一种有效且可靠的工具。
