Convergent validity of the measure was evaluated by calculating Pearson correlations with psychological variables. Confirmatory factor analysis was utilized in order to assess the construct validity. Results: Original factor structure was fitted adequately to the current data. Inner consistency of the scale was α=0.80. The test retest correlation of the instrument between two points with fifteen days time interval was r=0.82. Pearson correlations between the PSPS scores and psychological variables were significant.
