Developing Processes of Voltan Acar Assertiveness Scale

Abstract

In order to measure assertiveness the Voltan-Acar Assertiveness Inventory is developed. The scale has 28 items. Test-retest coefficient is 0.89 and Cronbach Alpha is 0.87. According the confirmatory factor analysis of the scale, the internal concistancy coefficent for the passiveness factor is 0.83 (17 items), for the assertiveness factor is 0.78. Reliability coefficient of the whole test is 0.87. Later, second order confirmatory factor model is formulated and the goodness of fit is interpreted. As a result of the analysis it can be stated that this scale for assertiveness can be utilized for the university students to measure their assertiveness.
