The scale was conducted to 594 high school students (324 (54.7%) male, 270 (45.3%) female; 327 (55.1%) 9th grade, 267 (44.9%) 10th grade) who 14-17 years old among three high schools in Mugla city of Turkey. Results of explanatory factor analysis provided three main factors (60.6%) and 25 items. The sub dimensions of the scale (α=0.972) are; “giving importance to sport” (α=0.982), “be interested in sport” (α=0.983), and “doing physical exercises or sport” (α=0.954). It was indicated that the whole scale and the factors have a good variability with respect to the internal consistency and test-retest reliability. That the scale differentiates statistically those who are supposed to have a good sport-oriented attitude and those were not presented as a support for validity. As a result, the scale titled “Sport-Oriented Attitude Scale” (S-OAS) by author, is a valid and reliable instrument and can be used in the physical education and sport sciences UR - https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/pub/cbubesbd/article/357821 L1 - https://dergipark.org.tr/tr/download/article-file/370601 ER -
