PURPOSE This study tests the validity and reliability of the Ideal Grandparent Scale (IGS; Mansson, 2015) on university students. DESIGN AND METHODS The Turkish version of the IGS was administered to 247 students at a university in Turkey to determine its validity and reliability. The students' mean age was 21.19 years (standard deviation = 1.69), with a range of 18-25 years. FINDINGS The results showed a single factored construct with factor loads ranging from 0.748 to 0.917 and explaining 71.67% of the variance. The Cronbach's alpha coefficient of 0.96 indicated that the internal consistency of the scale items was high. PRACTICAL IMPLICATIONS The Turkish version of the IGS is valid and reliable for use in potential studies to be conducted in Turkey.
