The research data were collected from 390 undergraduate students studying in different departments and classes of different faculties of Near East University on the basis of purposive sampling method. In order to examine the construct validity of the scale, exploratory factor analysis (EFA) and confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) were performed. In order to analyse the reliability of the scale, Cronbach's alpha test and Split-Half test were performed, and item-total correlations of the scale were examined.The Kaiser-Meyer-Olkin (KMO) coefficient of the nonverbal Immediacy Scale was found to be 0.952 and the Bartlett Test of Sphericity chi-square value was found to be 6361,626. As a result, it was determined that 43.463% of the total variance was explained. It was found out that the factor loads of the items in the scale ranged between -0.78 and 0.76. The mean square root of approximate errors (RMSEA) value was found to be 0.057. According to the reliability analysis of the scale, the Cronbach alpha coefficient was found to be 0.947, the inter-halves correlation coefficient was 0.886, the Spearman-Brown coefficient was 0.939 and the Guttman split-half coefficient was 0.937. As a result of theanalyzes, NIS-STr was found to be valid and reliable.
