Abstract

The purpose of this study is to adapt Strengths Self Efficacy Scale (SSES) developed by Tsai, Chaichanasakul, Zhao, Flores ve Lopez (2014) into Turkish and to examine its reliability and validity. The study group consists of 289 undergraduate students (118 men, 171 women) studying in Ankara University and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan University in spring term of 2017-2018 academic year. As a result of confimatory factor analysis, goodness of fit test was χ2(df=44)= 114.96, p<.001, χ2/df=2.80, RMSEA=.079, CFI=.98, GFI=.93, NFI=.97, NNFI=.97, SRMR=.044.For determining divergent validity, the relationship between SSES and Life Satisfaction Scale was examined r=.271, p<.01. Cronbach Alpha coefficient was .899, test retest correlation was r=.735, p<.01, equal and unequal length Spearman Brown were .83 and Guttman was .82.
