Irrational beliefs cause people to experience problems in their relationships (Addis & Bernard, 2002; Hamamcı,
2015), so the present study focused on the development of an indigenous scale on irrational romantic beliefs
among university students. The phenomenology of irrational romantic beliefs was explored through 20 in depth
semi structured interviews and from the 51verbatim of interviews, a list of 42 items was extracted. The resultant
scale was then administered on 500 university students to establish the psychometric properties. Principal
Component Analysis with Varimax Rotation showed three factors with KMO of .92 (p<.01) while the association
among the factors and the aptness for factor analysis was depicted by Bartlett’s test of sphericity (6669.19).
Entitled factors were Over Dependence, Over Demandingness and Awufulizing. Irrational Romantic Belief Scale
occurred to be highly reliable scale with the split half reliability (.84), alpha coefficient (.92), and SpearmanBrown Coefficient (.84). The Concurrent validity with respect to Romantic Relationships Beliefs Inventory
(RRBI; Kalkan, 2006) was moderately high (r= .49, p<.01).Findings show that IRBS is an effective measure with
excellent psychometric properties. The results are discussed in the cultural context of irrational romantic beliefs.
