RESULTS: Cronbach alpha coefficient of the scale was 0.90, as a result of the internal consistency analysis repeated by removing item wasn't found a problematic item. Exploratory factor analysis is used for the construct validity of the scale and as a result of this analysis; total variance was found 60.41%.
