Objective: This study, which was carried out in order to determine the Turkish validity and reliability of the Male Genital Self-Image Scale in a population sample of Turkish men, is of methodological type. Methods: In the study, language, content, construct validity, and reliability methods were used for the intercultural adaptation of the scale. The data collection process of the scale was carried out with 336 men who applied to the Family Medicine Polyclinic of a hospital. In the language and content validity phase, the opinions of experts with technical and cultural knowledge were consulted. The data of the study were collected with the Sociodemographic Characteristics Form and the Male Genital Self-Image Scale. Results: As a result of experts evaluation, the Content Validity Ratio value was determined as 0.83. At the stage of construct validity, the suitability of the single-factor model of the items of the Male Genital Self-Image Scale was tested. It was determined that all items contributed significantly to the factor (0.62-0.92). As a result of the Confirmatory Factor Analysis, the measurement model was statistically validated (chi 2 = 32.083, p = 0.001, chi 2/df =2.917, RMSEA= 0.076). The Cronbach's alpha reliability coefficient was calculated as alpha = 0.92 in the analysis performed to evaluate the internal consistency of Male Genital Self-Image Scale. Conclusion: The results of the study revealed that Male Genital Self-Image Scale is a valid and reliable tool to evaluate genital self-image in Turkish men.
