Religious attribution is a commonly observed form of attribution that is made by nearly every believer, stemming from the inherent need to explain and derive meaning from life events. It is clear that there is a requirement for a dependable and valid scale to assess religious attribution within Turkish Muslim culture. The Religious Attribution Scale (RAS) was recently developed in Indonesia and then adapted to American society. The purpose of this study is to adapt the RAS to the Turkish-Muslim culture. For this purpose, the linguistic equivalence study (N = 34), a pilot study (N = 156), and a main study (N = 320) were conducted. The research findings reveal significant variations in the distribution of the RAS items into sub-factors compared to the original structure. The findings also indicate that individuals from various cultural contexts exhibit dissimilar perceptions and interpretations of the religious attribution phenomenon
