Results: Confirmatory factor analysis showed that the model fit was within acceptable criteria, and the factor structure was the same as the original one. Coefficient α values were .85 for the total scale, .80 for the positive attitude sub-scale, and .68 for the negative attitudes sub-scale. Conclusions: The Turkish version of the scale was found to be valid and reliable.
