study was conducted as a survey study. The study group of this study is
composed of 438 people in Turkey who are among 16-24 age group with the highest

determine the validity of the scale and the item discrimination powers were
calculated. The total variance of the scale was determined that the scale had
8-factor structure and was found to be 49,70%. The internal consistency level
was also calculated to determine the reliability of the scale. As a result, it
