The results of the EFA conducted for the scale found that the item factor weight value for the first factor is between .829 and .676; between .732 and .381 for the second factor and between .663 and .574 for the third factor. Results of the CFA found that the adaptation indices were χ2= 633.85; p= 0.00, sd=249, χ2/sd = 2.54, IFI= .95, RFI = .91, GFI = .84, AGFI = .80, CFI = .95, NNFI = .94, NFI = .92 and RMSEA = .076. According to the reliability analysis conducted for the scales, the Cronbach’s Alpha coefficient and the split-half validity coefficients were on and above the border of .70, thus making the scale reliable.
