Arms and Interventions

| Intervention/Treatment |
| --- |
|Behavioral: data collection group|The scale development process generally consists of three stages as item production, theoretical analysis and psychometric analysis. The researcher provides theoretical support to the item pool during item production. In the theoretical analysis stage, the content validity of the new scale is evaluated and the first item pool is ensured to reflect the desired structure. In the final stage of the psychometric analysis, the researcher evaluates whether the new scale establishes validity and reliability.|

Primary Outcome Measures

| Outcome Measure | Measure Description | Time Frame |
| --- | --- | --- |
| scale development | The data will be collected with the online data collection tool created by the researchers through the software called google forms. During data collection, the e-mail address of the researchers will be indicated on the form so that the questions of the participants can be answered by the researchers. You will be informed that filling out the data collection form will take an average of 10 minutes for each participant. In addition, in order to evaluate the test-retest reliability of the scale, data collection tools will be sent to at least 30 randomly selected individuals from the sample two weeks after the first data collection. | 3 month | 
| test-retest reliability of the scale | In order to evaluate the test-retest reliability of the scale, data collection tools will be sent to at least 30 randomly selected individuals from the sample two weeks after the first data collection. Therefore, after the pre-application, the scale will be applied to 400 people within the scope of the calculated sample, and then, two weeks later, at least 50 people will be re-applied from the individuals to whom the same scale was applied. | Retest( later 2 weeks) |
