Özet:

The aim of this study is to develop a new manifest needs questionnaire to measure four needs; achievement, affiliation, autonomy and dominance for a Turkish sample. Although two instruments exist (Manifest Needs Questionnaire –MNQ- and Needs Assessment Questionnaire –NAQ-), numerous studies have reported problematic internal consistency of the MNQ scores. Heckert and colleagues created NAQ for this reason. This study is about the two step of the research series. The first study started with 60 items, 20 items from MNQ and 40 items proposed by Heckert and colleagues. This item-pool was administered to 650 undergraduates. Based on the factor analyses and item analyses, including item total correlation, 20 item GDÖ (Needs Assessment Scale) was created. In the second study, data collected from 120 undergraduates provided the new scale test-retest reliability
